Maurits Mouse
Maurits Mouse and Rembrandt is the sequel to the children’s book Maurits Mouse published in 2014. Over the last few years, the Mauritshuis has developed various activities for its youngest visitors around the character of Maurits Mouse, as illustrated and brought to life by Ingrid and Dieter Schubert. Maurits Mouse is the museum’s guide for children 3-7 years old, and he also plays a role at birthday parties. Maurits Mouse even has his own little mouse hole in the museum’s Golden Room.
