Did you know that original background color of the Vermeer's girl was green? It faded with time and turned into magnificent black. Besides there are plenty of nice paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens .

Victoria U.

Beautiful museum with a small collection. Less overwhelming than other museums with amazing pieces like Vermeer’s Girl with the Pearl Earring and Han Holbein’s Jane Seymour.

Heleno Schneider

Perhaps the best museum in Holland. Must see: the room with the 3 Vermeer's, the rooms with the young and old Rembrandt 's and the room with the giant bull by Potters. Download the app, it's a must too

John Hankus

Great art museum . Just the right size as they focus only on the Dutch realism period. Lots of Rembrandt paintings as well as others. Free lockers on site to lock up your bags before entering.

Download the app and bring your headphones. Did you know that original background color of the Vermeer's girl was green? It faded with time and turned into magnificent black. 26.12 12 pm - 5 pm

Lovely museum , great art (Rembrandt , Vermeer). Extremely crowded in the weekend, so go on a thursday evening for a visit.

Megan Allison

Sure, obvs the Vermeer is the draw, but for my € the morbid little corner room with the dead child painting overlooking de Hofvijver is where I could stay all day. Also: recurring oyster motif ????????

Hees Daman

Wonderful museum with important works of art , housed in a beautiful building. As a child, I was in awe with all that I saw then. But the lovely feeling came back in an instant!

Yarn Lam

Buy tickets in advance, slots are timed. The Girl with a Pearl Earring and the Rembrandts make the price worth it but the other pieces are great too!

Karina van Schaardenburg

Wow, install the app and do the audio tour ! There is so much more to the Dutch masters than meets the eye.

Ricardo Hernandez

Small but interesting museum . Lots of hidden gems here. For the size of the museum is a bit expensive , however if you love art this museum will not disappoint. There is no cafe at the museum .

Zia Bambalan

Be ready to take your time in each piece and get to listen to an masterpiece’s history by getting an audioguide for a fee or downloading their app for free! They also have lockers for rent.

If you want to pack and bring home Vermeer's GwPE or any other painting as poster, but are afraid it won't fit your suitcase, just ask and they will cut the tube! It'll fit even cabin baggage then!

pipitu

Great collection. Helpful staff . Informative website with audio guide. What else can you ask for?

Chris

You can cover this museum in 2 hrs. Be sure to download the museum app and bring headphones for audio explanations

Felipe Follador

A somewhat intimate collection, the recent renovation gave Mauritshuis a great foyer to receive tourists . House of Vermeer's "Girl With a Pearl Earring ", the painting alone is worth the visit.

Cin Dy

The Girl with the Pearl Earring is just like the Mona Lisa: the painting is smaller than you think and there is people in front of it taking pictures of it.

Lewin Higgins-Green

Great museum . Free audio guide by downloading an app and using your phone headphones - about twice as much content for the 2nd floor as the 1st.

Adrián Moreno

Not very big but very interesting. Get the free mobile app in the museum wifi and enjoy the long explanations about the paintings and its importance in the historic context. Museumkaart accepted.

Justus Bruns

Believe it our not. I think the ceiling contemporary art work "icarus atlanticus" by Ger Lataster is the best in the whole building.

Alberto Quiroz

Excellent museum with a quite collection of Flemish painters . A must if you visit The Hague

Haags Uitburo

Home to the "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and other brilliant masterpieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt , this intimate art museum is a must-see when you're in The Hague. Closed for renovations from 2/4/12. Read more

Recently renovated now with large entry area and a nice cafe . Lifts to all floors for those that need them. The art doesn't need advertising.

Best ilumination at paintings in a museum . No problems with reflexions or the light that comes from the windows.

Jiri Kram

Vemeer! It's just impossible to even describe how does it feel to look The Girl with Peal Earring. You must experience it yourself.

Jolanda H.

Lovely museum which brings you back to the golden age.

Nice paintings , you can even see how they renovate them

Maria Köhler

What a building! So pretty. And awesome old paintings , some of them really famous.

Michal Švácha

Just about the right size for a gallery - not too small and not too big either.

CharlyRarc

Very small museum , 1 hour is enough, love the Art here.

Kim Gammelgaard

Also the Gold Winch is there. And the Brasserie is good too

Patrick Sender

Great museum ! A lot of paintures!

Inga Kuznetsova

Amasing cozy museum ,must seen if you in den Haag,specially Vermeer.entr 14€

Frank de Wit

Even with a stroller doable. Although the rooms are not that big (especially when crowded ) and you have to ask for the service elevator to get to the 2nd floor.

Richard Van Eek

Go there on a Sunday an hour before close and the place will be yours

Boon Koh

Bring your own headphones, and download the app using their wifi .

Gisela Cabral

Small museum with an amazing collection!

David Hu

Recently reopened after two years' renovation. Despite all the hype around Mauritshuis though, I thought the collection was surprisingly small.

Marek Jansa

check the Rembrand from the right side!

Christian Baker

Positively world-class collection.
