In the seventeenth century, this guild house was the home of the civilian militia of Saint Sebastian, whose members are depicted in some of the museum collections.

[1] In 2024, the council of The Hague agreed an investment of around €17 million for the renovation of the building housing the museum.

[2] The refurbished building is being designed by DP6 architects, who will create a new reception foyer, larger gallery spaces and better visitor routing.

This includes silsver guild vases, an almost five meter wide panorama of The Hague created by Jan van Goyen, dolls' houses by Lita de Ranitz en paintings by Jan van Ravesteyn, Paulus Constantijn la Fargue en Jan Steen, and also unusual objects such as the finger of Cornelis de Witt and the tongue of his brother Johan de Witt.

[4] On the main floor of the museum is the fixed display relating to Power - 800 years of the Binnenhof.
