Mauritshuis | | The Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis was a state museum until it was privatised in 1995. The collection of old Dutch and Flemish masters is given the greatest care and attention. It is indeed remarkable to find a top-notch collection of seventeenth-century paintings housed in a seventeenth-century palace. The museum mounts one to two exhibitions every year; its own collection always forms the basis of these presentations. The Mauritshuis opens its doors to everyone by providing instructive and easily accessible information.
