The collection really doesn't need my five stars, it would be preposterous to try to give it a rate. The stars are from my personal experience every time I visit this relatively small museum housing so many masterpieces under one single roof. It can be overwhelming, in a delightful way.
My favourite painting is Vermeer's View of Delft, which hangs opposite the much more popular Girl with a Pearl Earring. Please do take a few minutes to admire what is perhaps the best cityscape ever painted (and one of Proust's favourite works of art).
