Where does our fascination with the bull come from? The Mauritshuis, home to Paulus Potter’s famous life-size painting The Bull, explores that question in a spring exhibition about the bull across the arts.
It promises a journey through history and art, and it is an easy add-on to seeing Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring and the rest of this jewel box of a museum. Full details of the works on show had not been published when we checked, so keep an eye on the museum website.
- When: Thursday 4 March to Sunday 27 June 2027
- Where: Mauritshuis, Plein 29, Den Haag
- Tickets: check the official site for prices; the Museumkaart is usually valid
- Getting there: direct trains run from Haarlem and Amsterdam to Den Haag Centraal, then it is about a 10 minute walk.
Good to know: spring visits pair nicely with a walk around the Hofvijver pond and the Binnenhof next door.
