This exhibition has closed

It closed on 7 June 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at Mauritshuis: Frans Hals and genre painting.

Visiting Mauritshuis

Fabritius's Goldfinch of 1654 and Simon Schama set against seven themes, from birds as pets to birds as messengers, with work by Leonardo, Rembrandt, Picasso, Matisse and Tracey Emin. Closed 7 June 2026.
