Museum Night Kids is the ultimate evening of art and culture for families with children aged 4 to 12. After closing time, the doors of participating museums and cultural institutions open especially for visitors.
At the Mauritshuis, everything revolves around birds! What do you know about birds? Our Goldfinch is the superstar of the evening. Go birdwatching in the museum, fly through our exhibition, or get creative and become an artist yourself. There’s a lot to do this evening, make sure you don't forget to visit the Prince William V Gallery. That's where you can build your own birdhouse!
