Museum van de Geest occupies the former Dolhuys in Haarlem, a psychiatric institution dating back to the sixteenth century. The museum explores the human mind and mental health across the ages through art, personal accounts and historical artefacts. Temporary exhibitions tackle themes such as madness, identity and the shifting boundary between sanity and its absence.
