What people are saying about Mauritshuis

The museum needs about a couple of hours to view. It doesn’t have a large collection but has some very famous pieces of art. Good to have the audio guide downloaded. Go earlier as it gets pretty crowded.

The tickets were sold out on the museum website for the time we wanted but we were able to purchase them through Get Your Guide. It was quick and easy.

Staff at the Mauritshuis were wonderful, they imparted interesting information about the paintings and were very helpful yet not intrusive.

Enjoyed this visit so very much, it was on my bucket list and met my expectations!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful exhibition.

Beautiful building, world class masterpieces. Was not overly crowded in early October.
