What can one say about one of the greatest museums...

What can one say about one of the greatest museums in the world, lacking the word "museum" in its name? The place is small in scale, compared to the monstrous spaces, like the Prado or Louvre. But OMG. "Girl With the Pearl Earing"? To come to Holland and miss seeing such an exquisite object is truly denying yourself a huge benefit of your presence in this wonderful country. Do yourself a favor. Come to the Mauritshuis. See this and the other Vermeers, and the other Dutch old masters --- take the time to look at the jewel-like floral paintings which really dazzled me.
