Gathering at Café-Restaurant Pulchri

*let op: dit event is in het Engels, georganiseerd door de International Friends

We are very pleased to invite you to join us for a private guided tour to discover a hidden gem of the Mauritshuis – the Willem V Gallery. Mauritshuis museum teacher, Matthijs Olierook, will lead us in a special visualisation tour to unwrap the magic of the wonderful paintings that adorn the walls of the Willem V Gallery.
 
Beforehand, we will meet at 10:00 in the cosy atmosphere of Café-Restaurant Pulchri on the Lange Voorhout where coffee and cakes will be served. Nicely fortified, we will walk the short distance to the Prince Willem V Gallery where Matthijs will introduce us to various techniques for viewing and responding to the paintings in a unique way.
