The Mauritshuis, home of Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring, will open on 27 June 2014 following a major renovation.
The museum’s historic 17th century building has been painstakingly renovated and upgraded to meet the needs of the 21st century visitor. Many of the building’s original features and colour schemes have been faithfully restored and renewed.
The architects for the Mauritshuis project are the Amsterdam-based practice, Hans van Heeswijk Architects.
