Mauritshuis

The Mauritshuis is an art museum in The Hague, Netherlands, devoted to Dutch and Flemish painting of the seventeenth-century Golden Age. It occupies a classical mansion built in the 1630s and 1640s for Count John Maurice of Nassau-Siegen, and the house was opened to the public as a museum, the Royal Cabinet of Paintings, in 1822.

Though compact, the collection is celebrated for its quality and includes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and his View of Delft, as well as the early Diana and her Companions. Other holdings include works by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jan Steen and Carel Fabritius.
