About Mauritshuis Museum

The Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague is a treasure trove for art lovers, especially those interested in Dutch Golden Age paintings. The museum is housed in an historic 17th-century building that was once the residence of a Dutch count, and offers a more intimate experience compared to larger institutions.

Masterpieces on Display

• Vermeer's ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’: The iconic painting is the star of the Mauritshuis collection and people travel from all over the world to see it.
• Rembrandt's ‘The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp’: Another must-see piece, the dramatic and detailed work captures a moment of scientific discovery and human emotion.
• Other Works: The museum also houses works by other Dutch masters like Frans Hals, Jan Steen, and Pieter Claesz. Each painting offers a glimpse into life in the 17th century, with rich details and vibrant colours.

The museum has both a permanent collection and temporary that includes pieces by:

• Rembrandt: 11 undisputed works by Rembrandt including 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp', 'Self-Portrait' and 'Susana'.
• Van Dyck: Including 'Portrait of Anna Wake' and 'Portrait of Peeter Stevens'.
• Rubens & Brueghel: Including 'The Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man' (a collaboration between Rubens & Brueghel).
• Vermeer: The famous 'Girl with a Pearl Earring', 'View of Delft' and 'Diana and her Nymphs'.
• Holbein: Including 'Portrait of Robert Cheseman'.
• Hals: Including 'Laughing Boy' and 'Boy Playing the Violin and Girl Singing'.
• and Steen, amongst others.

The building itself is an example of Dutch Classicist architecture. Its elegant design, with grand staircases and richly decorated rooms, enhances the art-viewing experience, as you feel at home in its warmth. Unlike larger museums, the Mauritshuis feels more personal. Part of the reason for this is due to the smaller space which allows you to get closer to the artworks, making the experience feel exclusive and special. Something you can’t do at a lot of other larger museums.

The museum has embraced technology with apps and in-gallery screens that offer insights into the artworks, the histories, and the techniques used by the artists, meaning you can learn more about the art you are viewing.

It also frequently hosts special exhibitions that focus on different themes or artists, and this offers a fresh perspective if you've already been to the gallery.
