The Hague fears losing Escher painting

The Hague city council is having trouble finding a new home for the famous painting Metamorphose by M.C. Escher and Labour councillors are afraid it will be lost to the city, reports news service ANP.


The 42-metre long work has hung in the post office on the Kerkplein since 1968, but renovation of the building means there is no longer space for it there.
