A trip to this museum is absolutely worth it. This gallery is not big, but contains the well known paintings 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' by Vermeer, 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp' by Rembrandt, and 'The GoldFinch' by Fabritius (my personal favourite). I think the fact this museum is in Den Haag as opposed to Amsterdam means the crowds of tourists aren't as ferocious, which means admiring the works of art is a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Walking through the museum is pretty intuitive, with the rooms marked with arrows and the museum map showing you where highlight paintings can be viewed.
As long as you don't stand too close to the paintings (there are metal lines marking standing limits along the ground), museum staff are happy for visitors to take pictures (without flash).
Unfortunately the temporary exhibit was closed when I went, but I think a new exhibition may be opening up soon.
For visitors who may need assistance walking, the museum has lifts and wheelchair availabilities. Tickets can be bought online or at the museum.
