Maurits Mouse and the bizarre birds

14 Feb 2026 - 21 Feb 2026
Art Workshop

Twee kinderen zijn aan het schilderen in de Kunstwerkplaats in het Mauritshuis.

Where is The Goldfinch? Maurits has searched everywhere, but cannot find his best friend. Suddenly Maurits hears ducks quack, storks clatter, geese honk, thrushes sing and pigeons coo. And... there is The Goldfinch too! ‘Come along, Maurits,’ the Goldfinch chirps cheerfully. ‘Meet my flock of bizarre birds.’

In this program you will visit the exhibition BIRDS - Curated by The Goldinch & Simon Schama together with Maurits and learn everything about the colorful world of birds. Afterwards you will create your own feathery friend in our atelier, which you can take home afterwards.
