Get entry to two top attractions in The Hague with one handy ticket
Find out more'Girl with a Pearl Earring' is right up there with 'The Starry Night' and 'The Night Watch' as one of the most famous Dutch paintings in history. And Vermeer's iconic portrait is just one of the many masterpieces you'll uncover in The Hague with tickets for the Mauritshuis!
Boasting a permanent collection of works by Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens, Brueghel, Holbein, Hals, Steen, and more, the Mauritshuis is one of The Hague's most essential cultural experiences.
'The Mona Lisa' might just edge it for the title of 'most famous portrait of a woman', but Vermeer's timeless masterpiece, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring', is surely not far behind. The enigmatic portrait has inspired novels, films, and plays, and sits in the rarified pantheon of iconic artworks that almost everyone recognizes. Just this one painting alone justifies a visit to the Mauritshuis!
But there are other famous paintings to discover here too: 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp' by Rembrandt, 'The Goldfinch' by Fabritius, 'The Bull' by Paulus Potter, and 'The Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man' by Rubens and Brueghel are all here too – as are incredible works by Van Dyck, Holbein, Hals, Steen, and more.
Combine The Mauritshuis Museum with other The Hague favorites. Some things are better together.
