The Mauritshuis is famous for its unique collection of paintings by Dutch and Flemish masters from the Golden Age. Housed in a 17th-century palace in The Hague, the Mauritshuis contains works by Rembrandt van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Hans Holbein the Younger and many other artists.
