The Mauritshuis is always fantastic to visit. The permanent collection is always worth a new acquaintance, so I can endlessly look at the girl with the pearl. But also the temporary exhibitions are almost always beautiful and interesting. Last visited, the works of Dutch masters from the National Trust.

The museum is small and can be read in about two hours. The collection is very good, the museum's booklet is also very helpful, and which room has a very famous name is clearly marked. With headphones, because you can download the app from this museum, you can use the audio guide. It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, the museum itself has an audio guide. Not far from the train station, walking distance, there are other museums nearby. Very good experience.

A beautiful building with great paintings from the time of the Romantic / Realism. Unfortunately, the museum is not very large and in principle you are ready quickly (high entrance fee is not in proportion). When we entered, a scary guy from the bank giro lottery immediately approached us with so-called free tickets. It detracts from the Mauritshuis's class if you ask me, but is above all very annoying. As well as the many generally unsympathetic security guards. Very exaggerated! Toilets were also very dirty. About 15 years ago I was also in the Mauritshuis and I liked that visit a lot better. But of course everything used to be better! ;) Will give it another chance in another 15 years ...

You can listen to the guide for free by downloading the smartphone app. The main pictures are in Japanese. Headphones can be borrowed free of charge near the luggage storage. If you only have pictures that are supported by the Japanese guide, you can go around enough in one and a half hours. The museum is famous for Vermeer's paintings, but large cattle paintings are also recommended.

An outstanding Dutch artists museum in the Hague. The museum has a cozy feel with it's human sized rooms and the paintings are easily viewed and appreciated on a personal level. Download the museum's app, and through it, you will have an audio guide to most of the exhibited art. Vermeer's masterpieces are displayed here with the city scape in Delft being a personal favorite. Museumkaart is accepted here.

Beautiful museum in Den Haag. Well kept and well managed. Many works by the main Dutch authors starting from Rembrandt, the highlight is the girl with a pearl earring. Tickets only online with reservation on the museum website.

This museum is small, but it contains some works that you can remember in your school books. Perhaps the most attractive is Vermeer's "The young lady of the pearl" who has even a movie, but what of Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson" or his self-portraits. The rooms are small so they are cozy, but with many people can be very overwhelming. To avoid it, try to go first thing in the morning.

Very original furnishings and many pictures by well-known painters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Steen. I'm not so enthusiastic about art, but discovered there that Rembrandt and Vermeer painted in HDR almost simultaneously. In addition there is the "girl with the pearl earring" as the highlight of the exhibition. My favorite piece was The view of Delft .

About Mauritshuis

Mauritshuis: A Haven for Dutch Masterpieces

Mauritshuis is a renowned art museum located in the heart of The Hague, Netherlands. It is home to some of the finest Dutch paintings from the Golden Age, including works by Rembrandt and Vermeer. The museum's collection comprises over 800 paintings and artworks that showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands.

The Mauritshuis was originally built in 1633 as a residence for John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen. Later on, it was converted into an art museum in 1822 by King William I of the Netherlands. Since then, it has been a popular destination for art lovers from all over the world.

One of the most famous paintings housed at Mauritshuis is "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer. This painting has become an icon not only for Dutch art but also for global culture as well. It depicts a young woman wearing an exotic turban and gazing directly at viewers with her enigmatic eyes.

Apart from "Girl with a Pearl Earring," Mauritshuis also boasts eleven other masterpieces by Rembrandt van Rijn, including his famous self-portrait painted in 1669 when he was already fifty-three years old. Other notable works include "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp," which depicts an anatomy lesson being conducted on a cadaver; and "The Goldfinch" or "Het puttertje," which portrays a chained bird perched on its feeder.

Visitors to Mauritshuis can expect to be transported back in time to experience firsthand what life was like during Holland's Golden Age (17th century). The museum's interior design reflects this period perfectly with its ornate ceilings, chandeliers, and grand staircases that lead visitors through galleries filled with stunning artwork.

In addition to its permanent collection, Mauritshuis also hosts temporary exhibitions throughout the year that showcase different aspects of Dutch culture and history. These exhibitions are curated carefully to provide visitors with unique insights into various themes such as fashion trends or social issues prevalent during different periods.

Mauritshuis offers guided tours led by knowledgeable guides who provide detailed information about each artwork displayed at the museum. Visitors can also opt for audio guides available in multiple languages if they prefer exploring independently.

In conclusion, if you're looking for an unforgettable cultural experience while visiting The Hague or simply want to immerse yourself in some world-class artistry - look no further than Mauritshuis! With its impressive collection of Dutch masterpieces spanning centuries past combined with modern amenities like interactive exhibits and multimedia displays - there truly is something here for everyone!
