What a pleasure it was to visit this collection! You need to book in advance, I was welcomed at the door and after 10 mins wait in the entrance which is a museum on its own for other guests, we were assigned a great tour guide who was also an art student!

My favorite story is about to buy part of neighbor’s house to fit the large painting painted by Paulus Potter in 1653. Gorgeous painting with N Tulp’s son on the...
