Guess who’s back? The fènste avondsje kuns en kultuâh (the finest night of art and culture), of course! On Saturday, 10 October 2026, the city will transform into one big artistic playground during Museumnacht Den Haag. Explore museums, galleries, hotspots and hidden gems, from iconic landmarks to mysterious courtyards. It’s set to be a night full of art, music, performances and fresh inspiration. And once again, the doors of the Mauritshuis will be wide open.

There’s plenty to see and do at the Mauritshuis during Museumnacht: from a (nude) life-drawing workshop to artistic swiping and a lightning tour of the Mauritshuis Visitor Favorites. Will we see you there? Tickets are on sale now!

It’s a Match!

Looking at the portraits in the Mauritshuis, you might wonder: What would they write in their Tinder profile? In this workshop, let your imagination run wild, create their story… and swipe left or right? You might just find a match!

Paint yourself or your date

Is your date’s hair tucked behind their ears, or falling in front? What do their eyes look like, and how about their nose? During this short painting workshop, you’ll create a portrait of yourself or the person you came to the Mauritshuis with. The key is to really look closely!

Masterclass in life drawing

Put your phone away, pick up a pencil and really take a good look during a short masterclass in (nude) life drawing. You absolutely don’t need to be good at drawing: just see what happens when you sit down, give it a go and get some seriously great tips!

Art with a story

See art through new eyes at Gallery Prince William V. In this writing workshop, let the masterpieces of the past inspire you and discover how the smallest detail - or the biggest story - can spark your imagination. Which painting will inspire you to pick up your pen?

Bar & Disco Bingo at the Foyer

In the foyer, a DJ will be spinning the perfect soundtrack for the evening. Is that irresistible dancefloor a hit on your bingo card? Keep an eye (and ear) out and you could win some great prizes! The bar will be open for a good glass of wine or a beer. A place to take a breather, catch up with friends or simply enjoy the evening with a drink in hand.
