Introduction
The Mauritshuis, housed in a 17th-century mansion in the heart of The Hague, is a small museum of superlative quality. It holds the crown jewels of Dutch Golden Age painting: Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, and Vermeer's View of Delft and The Little Street. The mansion itself is a treat — honey-stone facades, classical loggias and carved period rooms evoke aristocratic life of the era. Compact galleries mean you can see every masterpiece properly within an hour or two.
