All upcoming exhibitions

This year we’re celebrating our 200th birthday in grand style and treating you to the most beautiful flower still lifes of the seventeenth century. The flower still life flourished during this period: from ‘impossible’ imagined bouquets to richly decorated spectacle pieces. All equally breathtaking, a feast of colour, with lots of tiny creepy crawlies and largely painted by women artists.

In 2022, it will be 200 years since the Mauritshuis became a museum. That calls for celebration! With spectacular exhibitions, street art, an art battle for students and a magnificent anniversary book. Curious about what else we are planning? Learn more.

What happens when new masters pick up where old masters left off? Find out in our photography exhibition FLASH | BACK. Sixteen leading photographers - including Erwin Olaf, Rineke Dijkstra and Anton Corbijn – have created new work inspired by the 17th-century paintings in our collection.

The Mauritshuis was built by order of Count Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen (1604-1679). So it is literally Johan Maurits' house. In a new permanent presentation in one of the rooms of our museum, we will tell, on the basis of eleven works of art, the story about Johan Maurits, Dutch Brazil and the history of the Mauritshuis as a building and museum.
