Žižkov, Prague, Czech Republic
A small and wonderful gallery of Dutch art. While it is most famous for housing «Girl With A Pearl Earring», there is so much more going on here. There are so many hidden gems, and other famous pieces, including the Gold Finch (the driving force in Donna Tart’s most recent novel) and The Anatomy Lesson y Rembrandt. It is a great way to spend an afternoon.

After visiting Vanmeer’s birthplace of Delft, it was a must that we take the short tram ride into The Hague to take a look at the girl with a pearl. A treat. The museum is first rate.

I read a book and had to come see the work myself. No not the girl with the pearl earring; the goldfinch. And it was definitely worth the trip. It is beautiful. Loved the book, loved the painting. It’s funny how things come into your life.

The collection of 17th century art is exceptional. Artists include Rembrandt, Van Dyke, Steen, Vermeer and Holbein. Unfortunately, all the work is under glass and the reflections from the chandeliers are distracting. Of course, there must be a logical reason for this — though I’ve visited major museums and never noted this much glass.

A manageable collection to see and housed in a beautiful building. Of all the museums we went to in the Netherlands this one was my favorite because it didn’t feel overwhelming (like Rijksmuseum) and it included a few pieces I was very eager to see: Vermeer’s Girls with a Pearl Earring and Rembrandt’s The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. My husband and I arrived 15 – 20 minutes after the museum opened and had a Museumkaart so there was virtually no waiting in line and a very light crowd inside. If you have an iPhone you can download the audioguide for free. If you don’t have headphones they can give you a set for free. Their audioguide is better than most and had very interesting facts about the works featured, particularly Jan Steen’s As the Old Sing, So Pipe the Young.
A must visit when in Den Haag.

When we visited, it was very busy. Even despite this, the museum is remarkable, and a must-​see if you’re planning on visiting Den Haag. Mauritshuis is home to a number of extremely famous works of art, the most well-​known of which is probably Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Even without their remarkable collection, though, the building itself would still be worth a visit because of the beautiful architecture and the extravagant interior. The place is beautiful, and, if you have a Museumkaart (which I cannot recommend highly enough — easily the best money you’ll spend in The Netherlands if you plan on visiting museums), admission is free!

Ich war mit meiner Frau am 02.05.2007 dort und war echt beeindruckt! Selbst bin ich ja sonst nicht so der Gemäldeliebhaber — aber dieses Haus ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden Den-​Haag-​Besucher :-)

Dieses wunderschöné Haus direkt neben dem ebenfalls sehr sehenswerten Binnenhof dient bereits seit 1822 als Museum für die Königliche Gemäldegalerie der Niederlande. Ein absolutes Must-​see für Den Haag Besucher.
Man kann sich dort auf kleinem Raum einen wunderbaren Überblick über die holländische und flämische Malerei des 15. bis 18. Jahrhunderts verschaffen. Unter den Gemälden befinden sich unter anderem herausragende Werke aus dem Goldenen Zeitalter, von Vermeer, Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jan Steen und anderen. Ein phantastischer Querschnitt.
Leider wurde bei unserem Besuch die Ausstellung gerade umgestaltet, so dass wir nur vier Galerien sehen konnten. Dennoch hat es sich gelohnt.
Außerdem kann ich jedem Besucher den kostenlosen Audioguide ans Herz legen. Hier erfährt man begleitet von schöner, atmosphärischer Musik mehr über das Gemälde, dessen Geschichte und auch die des Malers. Ich habe es sehr genossen.
