The Mauritshuis and many of its pictures underwent extensive restoration between 1982 and 1987, and its floor space was increased by 700 sq.m/7500 sq.ft by an underground extension, not visible from outside, containing a library, a study room and a store.

Het gemeenschappelijke verzamelgebied van verzamelaar en Mauritshuis, het karakter van het museum dat altijd de intieme sfeer van een particulier woonhuis heeft behouden, de uitgelezen kwaliteit van de collectie en de constante aandacht voor conservering en restauratie zijn de belangrijkste drijfveren geweest om het Mauritshuis tot nieuwe eigenaar uit te kiezen.

 Reviews and Features: Rembrandt   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It is the inescapable question that confronts visitors to the Mauritshuis museum after they come face to face with some 60 of the 75 Rembrandt self-portraits known to exist.
While the exhibition's stated purpose is to shed new light on the meaning and purpose of those works--the largest group of self-portraits ever produced by a great artist--Rembrandt left few clues.
In their joint foreword to the exhibition catalogue, Frederik J. Duparc, director of the Mauritshuis, and Neil MacGregor, director of the National Gallery in London, speculate on the reasons but conclude, "What that significance was--and it was very probably not the same throughout Rembrandt's life--remains one of the puzzles of the history of art."

 frontline: the world's most wanted man: genocide and war crimes: inventing peace
I, too, had been spending time with the Vermeers at the Mauritshuis, and at the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam, as well.
In fact, the ensuing devastation of the Dutch economy and Vermeer's own resulting bankruptcy may have constituted a proximate cause of the painter's early death, by stroke, in 1675: he was only forty-two.
For many years, Vermeer's works were seen primarily as instances of the various types of moralizing genre imagery then current in the Netherlands-- superb examples of which grace the walls of some of the adjoining rooms there at the Mauritshuis.

The works on permanent display provide a magnificent panorama of Dutch and Flemish art from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century; from Flemish primitives to sunlit landscapes, from biblical characters to meticulous still lifes, and from calm interiors to humorous genre scenes.
The reduced size of this museum, plus the ambience and qualities of the pictures make the Mauritshuis one of the most congenial places for getting to know Dutch 17th c.
Especially valuable are the large reproductions of the three Vermeer's in the Mauritshuis collection: Girl with a Pearl Earring, View of Delft and Diana and her Companions.

However, the Mauritshuis has serious doubts about the long-term effects of such an approach, as the participants are not genuinely interested in receiving museum information on a regular basis.
As museums have limited budgets and already recruit the majority of their visitors by means of ingenious forms of word-of-mouth advertising, it may be one of the most suitable ways of advertising in the future.
