Galerij Prins Willem V: paintings hung close together

In the Galerij Prins Willem V on the Buitenhof, paintings hang closely above and beside one another. This presentation makes the room itself part of the visit: you keep looking from an individual work to the whole wall.

Plan your visit ↗

Exploring a wall

First let your gaze travel across an entire wall. The differences in size, colour and subject make clear how much influence a painting’s surroundings can have on the way you look.

Finding details again

Then move closer to a few works and read the accompanying text. In this way, images that were mainly patches of colour from a distance gain a subject of their own, and you can explore connections in the arrangement.

A visiting route of its own

The gallery has different opening times from the Mauritshuis. The entrance is by the Gevangenpoort; for a combined visit, check which entrances your ticket covers and where you start.

Before you go

According to the visitor information, tickets are available at the ticket desk. Check combination options and public holiday changes; do not assume the Mauritshuis hours apply to this gallery.
