I think they paid $Hundreds of Thousands for some fool to plaster mud and rock randomly on backer boards... which they then hung on the walls. It looks like garbage.
It is ugly, a nuisance to the mind and a waste of money, and absolutely stupid .... but that, in essence, that is a summation of the current crown: the executive and the king, the Staten-Generaal and the administrative state and their policies.
A better display would have been to collect small rocks, pebbles, sand and larger decorative rocks from various places throughout the Netherlands... and then create a display of decorative and interesting rocks that represent the nation.
Rather than mix the rocks, the backer board art display could transition from one region to the next to the next, showcasing the Netherlands from North to South and from East to West.
Instead, this looks like a group of animals got into a mud and rock fight.
I've always hated that "wall art" behind him.

I guess it is supposed to look like a rustic wall. But not only is it not in harmony with the room, it isn't well done at all.

Exactly. It's a serious room, but a purposeful rock display would be appropriate.
