A painting up close
The collection includes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, among other works. Check in advance which works and exhibitions are available: owning a painting does not mean it always hangs in its usual place.
Details and explanations
Take time with a work to look at colour, gesture and background before you read the explanation. The explanation can then help you understand elements that received less attention at first glance.
Another gallery
Galerij Prins Willem V is on the Buitenhof and has its own opening hours. Treat this location as a separately planned visit, even when a combined option is offered.
Before you go
Outside the closure period, different hours apply on Monday and on other days. Allow for last admission half an hour before closing and check the planned reopening.
