VSF’s complete job will involve the excavation of around 45,000m³ of royal soil.

"Renovation and refurbishment works at the former royal palace will take place over the next few years."

As part of the underground expansion, the wings of the existing palace will be connected to the main building, the Corps de Logis.

Furthermore, a new spacious entrance area and new exhibition rooms will be added, creating an ensemble with the palace, the gardens, the exhibition rooms, the Junior Palace for children and the House of Orange.

The expansion will also provide enough space for the permanent collection, as well as temporary exhibitions.

VSF plans to start construction on the underground expansion in January next year, with the reopening expected in 2021.
