The lost museum

Did you know that until 1875, there weren't just one, but two museums to visit in the Mauritshuis? On the upper floor, you could admire the Royal Cabinet of Paintings. Those artworks are still there. But can you imagine that the ground floor was completely filled with thousands of objects? They have all disappeared by now. This part of the museum was called the Royal Cabinet of Rarities.

A Peek at Potter - Investigating the Bull

We're going to restore Potter's legendairy (get it?) painting The Bull. The preliminary investigation kicked off at the beginning of 2023. At A Peek at Potter, you dive into the details of a two-year restoration journey and catch the juiciest tidbits about one of the most popular Dutch paintings. You can witness the entire process live and stay in the loop online as we unfold the magic.

Presentation Who's that Girl?

What did the Girl with a Pearl Earring look like when Vermeer applied his final brushstroke to the canvas and he took the -now world-famous painting- off the easel? Are we still looking at the same painting as he once intended? And what painting techniques would he have used? In the freely accessible presentation Who's that Girl? the Mauritshuis shares key research findings on what the Girl must have looked like in 1665.

Archive Expo

Each year, we organize three rotating exhibitions at the Mauritshuis. Curious about a past exhibition? Our online exhibition archive goes back to 2014.
