Panorama Mesdag is a panorama by Hendrik Willem Mesdag. Housed in a purpose-built museum in The Hague, the panorama is a cylindrical painting more than 14 metres high and about 40 metres in diameter. From an observation gallery in the centre of the room the cylindrical perspective creates the illusion that the viewer is on a high sand dune overlooking the sea, beaches and village of Scheveningen in the late 19th century. A foreground of fake terrain around the viewing gallery hides the base of the painting and makes the illusion more convincing.

The first mentions of the Bahai belief in the Netherlands were in Dutch newspapers reporting on the number of events in 1852 with regard to the Bahai movement considered by the Bahai believers as a precursor-religion. In around 1904, the Algemeen Handelsblad, an Amsterdam newspaper, sent a correspondent to Persia to investigate the practitioners of this religion. The first Bahai believers who settled in the Netherlands were a few families-the Tijssens and Greens. Both families left Germany in 1937 when their affairs were hit by the Nazi policy. After the Second World War, the believers established a committee to oversee the spread of religion in Europe and so the permanent growth of the community in the Netherlands began, with Bahai pioneers who arrived in 1946. After their arrival and the joining of some Dutch people, the first local spiritual council of Amsterdam was elected in 1948. In 1962, when there were 110 believers and nine local spiritual councils, the Bahai community in the Netherlands chose its first national spiritual council. In 2005 the Netherlands had 34 local spiritual councils. In 1997 there were around 1500 believers in the Netherlands.
