Art story for kids

A museum full of animals

You might expect only paintings of chic ladies and gentlemen with big, white collars in our museum (and there are some), but we also have lots of animal paintings. Because animals and people, they belong together. And that was also the case in the past.

Schools

The best way to discover art, as a student, is to encounter it face to face. The Mauritshuis is therefore the museum par excellence for CKV students. Every work of art tells its own story. Come discover it with us!
