Of course you can't go to the Mauritshuis right now, but you can have the great pleasure of experiencing some of the best works from the Museum by making a simple little detour to the - also fabulous - Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. That detour is a must because the paintings from the Mauritshuis include some of the world's greatest works,... More

You probably know the bull of Potter, however it is only one many unique paintings of the Mauritshuis. There is the painting of Vermeer "the milk maid" and moreover the Fabricius painting "Puttertje", a ver finely coloured bird. This is only a small selection of the paintings.

The place is now (November 2012) closed, however when it opens again a great one to go and see if you like big Dutch paitings.

This review is really just for information (wish there was an option for this rather than a review). As noted below, the Museum is closed for renovation. It would be useful for others to know though that it is closed until 'Mid 2014.' Some of the paintings can be seen at the Gemeentemuseum which I thought was worth going to,... More
