Gallery Prince Willem V, Art museum at Buitenhof, The Hague, Netherlands
The Gallery Prince Willem V displays over 150 Old Master paintings from floor to ceiling in a historical setting with period chandeliers and curtains.
Prince William V established this gallery in 1774 to showcase his extensive art collection, making it the first public museum in the Netherlands.
The gallery contains masterworks by Dutch and Flemish painters including Jan Steen, Peter Paul Rubens, and Paulus Potter in their original presentation style.
Located five minutes from Mauritshuis, the gallery charges 5.50 euros for adults while offering free admission to visitors under 19 years old.
The painting 'A Hunting Party near the Hofvijver' by Berckheyde shows the same governmental center view that visitors can see today from the gallery.
