Come to the Mauritshuis! Turn your museum visit into a great day out with our fun activities. Meet the Girl with a Pearl Earring face to face. There is even a life-size 3D version in our Foyer that you can touch!
Scavenger Hunts and Audio Tours
We will be offering a range of fun experiences for kids at the Mauritshuis. Do a scavenger hunt or listen to the family audio tour and find all the creepy crawlies in the paintings!
Scavenger hunts through the Mauritshuis (4+ and 7+)
Go on a treasure hunt through our museum together! For children from 4 years upwards, you will go on a search for the animals in the paintings together. Get tips from forest ranger Tim, biologist Auke-Florian and, of course, Maurits Mouse!
For children aged 7 and over, you will explore, look and talk together. You may not have noticed before, but there are many children in the paintings. What are they doing? What are they talking about? Is everything you see correct?
Get free activity books from the service desk in the Foyer. Don't forget to pick up a little surprise at the service desk afterwards.
