Gallery Prince Willem V

Located in Buitenhof, this gallery is a reconstruction of the original art space founded by Prince Willem V in 1774. It functions as an extension of the Mauritshuis, displaying a selection of masterpieces from that collection. Visitors go here to see works by artists such as Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Steen in a setting that reflects 18th-century tastes.

Getting There

The gallery is situated in the heart of The Hague. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your starting point.

Visit Duration

Because the gallery is small and focused on a specific selection of works, most visitors spend between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours exploring the space.

When to Visit

To avoid the largest crowds, visiting during weekday mornings is generally advisable. The gallery is indoors, making it a suitable stop regardless of the season or weather conditions in the Netherlands.
