The Hague

The Maurithuis museum in Den Haag; home of the famous Girl With the Pearl Earring. Contrary to the popular film, the painting is not a portrait but a tronijes (character study).











The Binnenhof (Inner Court) - parliament buildings











The Paleis museum is located in the 18th Century home of Queen Emma, great-grandmother of the current queen. It houses temporary exhibitions; now it was M.C. Escher.











The chandeliers in the palace were based on popular elements from his work. That's me and Alex in the mirror!
