The Mauritshuis is housed in a 17th-century city palace that is worth visiting in its own right. With its high ceilings, elegant panelling and intimate rooms, it provides the perfect backdrop for classical painting. Here, you are not walking through an anonymous museum building, but literally through history, room by room, work by work.
The museum houses iconic works such as Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp and Fabritius' The Goldfinch. The collection is not overwhelmingly large, but rather compact and refined, allowing you to really view each painting without getting lost in corridors or stairwells.
What makes the Mauritshuis extra special is the way it tells stories. Through subtle room texts, audio and digital tools, you learn to look like an expert, noticing colour use, symbolism and details that you would otherwise miss. There is often room for stimulating temporary exhibitions with modern perspectives on old masters.
A visit to the Mauritshuis is like a silent journey through time, among brushstrokes, portraits and stories that still resonate today. Perfect if you love classical art, beautiful buildings and want to lose yourself in beauty for a while.
