Mauritshuls Royal Cabinet of Paintings
This was once the residence of Stadtholder Frederik Hendrik's nephew, Maurits van Nassau-Siegen. Today the delightful 17th-century mansion houses a small but unsurpassed collection of paintings from Holland's "Golden Age." The intimate rooms make it seem as if you are visiting a private collection, and you can appreciate each painting at ease. The ground floor is devoted to works from the 15th and 16th centuries, mainly religious paintings by Dutch and Flemish artists and portraits by Holbein and Rubens. Works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Jan Steen are on the second floor, including such pieces as Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson and Vermeer's The View of Delft.
