    Unique collection of the Dutch Golden Age painting (and more)

    For those visiting the Netherlands to see the iconic works of the Dutch Golden Age masters this museum hardly needs any recommendation. The Hague is about 1 hour travel by train from Amsterdam, and the Mauritshuis Gallery is within a walking distance from the Den...More

    A delightful place filled with treasures

    We had a tour with an excellent docent who showed us not only the highlights, but arranged things so we were able to view the Vermeers, including the Girl with the Pearl Earring without a crowd of people. She really helped us understand and appreciate...More

    Perfectly-sized collection for a pleasant half day in a gorgeous historic building

    Large art museums can be overwhelming, and I sometimes end up leaving totally drained after trying to see it all and failing. The Mauritshuis is just the right size: two levels divided up into smaller rooms where you can enjoy around a dozen paintings in...More

    Iconic museum

    If you have to pick a museum during your visit to The Hague this one is worth choosing. Not too overwhelming. It is absorb-able even for teenagers. You can see the "Dutch Mona Lisa" in an elegant but human sized palace.

    Beautiful

    The cultural and historical art in this beautiful museum cannot be ignored. Get an audio tour and spend some quality time on a few works, instead of rushing through and trying to see it all.

    Small charming museum

    Small and charming museum with famous Dutch paintings. We took the train there from Amsterdam just to see the museum and the Peace Palace - half a day trip from Amsterdam.

    Rich collection of Dutch Masters

    The 3 storey museum is filled with beautiful Dutch Masters, including the Girl with a Pearl Earring and many of Rembrandt's masterpieces. An utterly rewarding visit

    I think not. The line to enter the Anne Frank House is long and the travel time to The Hague is just under an hour each way plus a 15 minute walk to Mauritshaus from the train station. Unless you are a traveler who just... More
