Museums in The Hague
Published: 14 December 2010 Modified: 07 June 2011
The Hague has some 30 top-quality museums and can rightly be seen as a city full of art and culture. Some enjoy a worldwide reputation while others are less well known, which only adds to their charm.
The Mauritshuis has an extensive collection of Dutch masterpieces from the 17th century, including the gem Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. The Gemeentemuseum has a permanent collection with a number of paintings by Piet Mondrian and the only 19th-century panorama in the Netherlands can be admired in Panorama Mesdag.
