Mauritshuis Review

Do not miss the opportunity to visit, the truth is worth it.

Fine collection of paintings. Particularly rooms with Golden Age Masters. Two probably most famous Vermeer's masterpieces. A must for painting lovers

The Maurits Museum has a wonderful collection in addition to the girls wearing pearl earrings! Don't forget to download the free tour app and follow the exhibition hall numbers 1-16, it's very convenient!

Beautiful museum, both the collection and the building.

Small and beautiful museum in The Hague. For those who love Dutch painting it is a must: numerous Vermeer paintings such as the Delft view.

Nice museum, friendly helpful staff, a good impression of the art in the past

Amazing art collection with all the Dutch and Flemish masters and not too crowded in Den Haag. Definitely worth a visit, and check out their restaurant upstairs. Tasty sweets - order the waffle, it's to die for - and great snacks like cheese balls and dutch bitter balls.

The Mauritshuis is home to the best of Dutch painting of the seventeenth century. The compact, yet world-renowned collection, is situated in the heart of The Hague, right next to the government centre. Masterpieces such as Vermeer s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Rembrandt s The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, Fabritius The Goldfinch and Potter s The Bull are on permanent display in the rooms of this seventeenth-century monument.

One of the most beautiful museums in Europe. There I could see the spectacular "Dr. Tulp Anatomy Class." from Rembrandt. Hope to be back one day !!!

Slightly old stuff and unnecessarily stiff service in the restaurant, but good-natured helpers at the cloakroom.

A good museum, as well as a ticket, is valid in the gallery of Willem Fifth.

After the renovation / restoration, old and new come together nicely. Museum to visit more often.

Fine art collection, with one of my favorites present: The girl with the pearl earring

The Mauritshuis in The Hague ... a beautiful museum with an impressive exhibition! To do!!

Has recently been renovated and can compete internationally with other museums. New logo and top collection in striking building. There are just a few very beautiful works and the building itself, the interior, is also very worthwhile. So a total picture.
I also recently visited the temporary collection 'Slow Food' with still lifes of food from the 17th century. Very beautiful, with pieces from private collections or other museums. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures there.
Brasserie is cleverly situated, ie accessible without a ticket via the entrance at the Plein. Nicely decorated and chic, but not really exciting and innovative.
The Facebook page is also nice, because there you can see what the museum posts and everything does, but also photos of people who have been there.
Only downside are the people at the lottery entrance who almost force you to participate. Because that is how you help the museums. Yes Yes.

If you like to visit an iconic attraction, then the Hague is the place

Impressive. Really worth it .. Beautiful paintings by famous painters. Beautiful location.

Beautiful collection, wonderfully wandering through the halls and being struck by a work of art every time

A beautiful building in it's own right. So many paintings by the Masters. An enjoyable day out.

Nice museum, the renovation worked out well! The space is back and there is also a nice place where you can enjoy a cup of tea / coffee or another snack. When you are at the checkout: look up and you will be amazed.

Beautiful museum and fun children's exhibition in the summer. Regular exhibition with young children more difficult to visit, due to the many valuables. Admission for children free, so great to pay.

Very nice museum. The picture "The woman with the earring" a must!

Top pieces in a particularly beautiful environment.

Beautiful museum not too big but the largest painters in the house. Top

Great pictures on 2 floors. Short walk from central station den Haag.

Where else to go to appreciate the Dutch Golden Age?
The Mauritshuis houses the best Dutch paintings from the Golden Age. The compact but world famous collection is located in the heart of The Hague. Masterpieces such as Vermeer's Maiden with a Pearl Earring, the anatomy lesson from Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt, the goldfinch by Fabritius and the bull by Potter are in the intimate museum rooms of this 17th century monument.

A beautiful place to be when one wants to enjoy the master Dutch painters of the 17th century. Mauritshuis is itself a wonderful monument, like a time machine that brings you back to days gone by.

Beautiful exhibition Dutch artists in British country houses

Beautiful museum with classical art. Staff was very friendly. Suitable for organizing events

The mauritshuis has some very small rooms so it can feel a bit packed when looking at the paintings but the paintings are of excellent quality! Plan to go early to avoid the packed crowds in small rooms. Personally these paintings are of higher standard than the museums in Amsterdam. There is a gift shop and a cafe for refreshments and the piece the resistance, the painting of Vermeer: "The girl with the pearl"

Amazing collection of Dutch art from the Golden Age. Great descriptions of each work of art are available in Dutch or English. Well organized throughout. Nice staff. Pleasant restaurant for coffee or tea after the visit. Well worth the price of admission.

Very nice museum with modern construction out of sight of the old construction of, for example, the inner court. As a lover of old buildings, I personally find it very unfortunate that a glass elevator has been placed in the middle of the old Mauritshuis. It does not look and swears with the old building.

Magnificent museum on a human scale two hours unforgettable

Very beautiful and stylish museum. After the renovation it has become much more beautiful and certainly has international allure. In the brasserie you can enjoy some food and drink.

Quite an awesome collection in an intimate setting...I arrived early and it was quite tranquil for a while... killer art

Beautiful museum with beautiful and some famous paintings! Worth to visit!

Much smaller than expected. Free app for phone to use to look around. Don't bother getting the audio guide if you have a smart phone. There is wifi to download the app. Bring headphones.

Wonderful collection and narration. Not too big, so good for reluctant family members!

Beautiful artwork, perfectly sized museum. Free up to 19 years old, which is pretty cool.

Great beautiful museum. The paintings are very beautiful in a number of rooms. Here the Girl hangs with the pearl.
Until 6 January 2019 special exhibition of the National Trust, paintings from English country houses. Very nice!

Beautiful house and setting. The gallery itself was very intimate and well layed out. You can walk through each of the numbered rooms that take you through groupings of very famous paintings by theme or artist or subject. Of course, most people go to see Vermeer's 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' but the museum houses some spectacular Dutch artists and their portraits, landscape paintings and still-lifes. Truly a wonderfully quiet and gorgeously decorated museum. I spent 2-3hrs walking through each room but you could just as easily walk through the entire place in under an hour. There are only 2 floors of galleries so bear in mind that it is a lot smaller than perhaps you might be used to thinking.

I recommend the bistro for a quick pick-me-up or just as lovely a place for dinner as any. The staff are all very friendly and speak perfect English. Ticketing is best done online (around 15 for an adult ticket) so you can just walk in a scan your ticket from your phone. Alternatively, the front desk is also very helpful and can answer all your questions or assist you in any way they can.

Just a quick note: the entrance is a little inconspicuous because you have to go down some stairs from the front gates. If in doubt, just ask the security officer at the museum front. Once you descend the steps, you'll come out onto a lovely glass-fronted lobby where you'll see the front desk and gallery entrance.

11/10 would recommend and a must-visit while in Den Haag.

What a top collection. In addition to the famous canvases, also check out Rembrandt's smiling man, what a jewel. Or the hand-washing woman by Eglon van der Neer: per cm2 that dress is the most detailed part of the entire collection. And Rembrandt's old man, made incredibly sloppy almost in a hurry. But striking every region ... the anatomical lesson is a boring product. I count no more than 5 used pigments for both the Girl with a Pearl Earring and ice cream from Averkamp. For me an eye-opener about how technical limitations lead to masterpieces. Enjoy :) Oh and not 5 stars because the exposure is really jerk. Some frames draw thick drop shadows on the works that are in them.

Nice now it was the 2nd time. First time before the renovation and now after.

Stunningly beautiful, not only the beautiful paintings, but also the woodwork, the walls and ceilings. Well worth a visit

Small but very interesting museum with numerous paintings by Rembrand, Vermeer, Rubens and other important Dutch painters.

Small museum in the city center, with some famous paintings including the girl with a pearl earring. However, I expected it to be bigger and with a bigger layout. 1h30 is enough for the visit
