NN Group, domain partner

NN Group has been a partner of the Mauritshuis since 2016. NN Group is supporting the museum as a Welfare domain partner since 2025. NN is a supporter of the art discoverer and will continue to promote the importance of viewing art and encouraging new audiences.

Below, we look at the creative and intensive collaboration between NN Group and the Mauritshuis.

Experience the Mauritshuis with your ears

Countless writers, filmmakers and photographers have already been inspired by the masterpieces in the Mauritshuis. One example is the film Girl with a Pearl Earring. Or the novel The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. And we shouldn’t forget about music.

We asked several singer-songwriters if they also wanted to be inspired by our collection. NN Group supports this campaign to reach a younger, diverse target group.

Rembrandt reality app

In 1632, Rembrandt painted his first group portrait, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. NN Group and the Mauritshuis literally bring this painting to life with a spectacular virtual reality app, which has received international awards.

Maurits&

How do you reach a younger target group that doesn’t visit a museum very often? Maurits& is one of the most successful activities we organise together with NN group. A Dutch celebrity is invited as a guest director and he or she determines the programme for that evening. That means activities range from music and dance to film and theatre. This ensures many special stories and encounters.

The following Dutch celebrities were directors for one evening, for instance: Eva Jinek, Jort Kelder, Humberto Tan, André Kuipers, Jandino Asporaat and Bibian Mentel.

Special exhibitions

Each year, NN Group also contributes to a temporary exhibition on a specific theme. This can be a movement in painting, a renowned painter or a special subject such as portraits or still lives. In 2020, for example, NN Group supported the Corona-proof exhibition Alone with Vermeer.
