About Museum Murals

Art outside the walls – Museum Murals throughout the Netherlands in 2024 

Imagine this: 20 museums that break through traditional boundaries and bring art out into the open. In Museum Murals, street artists are inspired by the treasures of museum collections. Through centuries-old paintings, intriguing objects and enchanting stories. The result: life-size murals. Street art goes beyond the traditional canvas and brings art to where we live, work and play. Spread throughout the Netherlands, the Museum Murals make the area more beautiful. In the middle of a residential area, on an old factory wall or along the railway. There is no escaping these vast masterpieces. So, what are you waiting for? Discover where you can admire the murals and hit the road. 

 

Museum Murals is an initiative of the Mauritshuis and is made possible by those taking part in the VriendenLoterij (Dutch lottery dedicated to culture).

As soon as you step inside, you will experience our love for the many masterpieces, and the drive to share the stories behind them with as diverse an audience as possible in a modern and inspiring way. Inside the Mauritshuis you will find iconic works such as The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Vermeer and The Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt, for which hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world find their way to our museum every year.
