  • Exsquisite museum with some of the best examples of The Golden Age of Dutch Painting. Being quite small it always feels like an intimate visit.

  • Beautiful gallery space with masterpieces abound — Vermeer, Rembrandt, Hals, and many more — all hung well and the gallery space used to perfection. Staff were nice too which is a lovely added bonus. Spent an hour and a half inside but you could easily spend two hours or more. Elevators for access and toilets are available too. Absolutely essential if you are in The Hague.
  • I usually get bored after more than 2 hours in a museum. This one was perfect: marvelous paintings, it is not so big, just 2 floors, not very crowded, it was a delight. We enjoyed it a lot and somehow it is on 1st place when it comes to museums.
  • Interesting art, the museum itself is quite small you can walk through it all in one to two hours. Beautifully decorated interior and well built art collection. While it houses iconic painting like Girl with a Pearl Earring, it does have a lot of colonizer art.
  • A very beautiful building in denhaag. It houses some of the most important art in the Netherlands. We were unable to explore the museum as we reached around 5:30 pm. A little before the closing time. But our guide told us it is definitely worth a visit when we are in town next. The building itself is beautiful and is very well located close to the parliament. It houses paintings from the dutch golden age and is also listed in the top 100 Dutch Heritage sites.
  • Greatttt art gallery and museum!! Highly Recommend going if you come to the Hague. The architecture of the museum itself is so pretty! There are so many paintings, 2 floors and more than 16 rooms! More details can be found on their website.
