We are glad to say that at 15.30pm the Girl with a Pearl Earring was put back in her rightful spot in the Mauritshuis by members of our staff. Everyone can come and admire her again.
Martine Gosselink: 'We are incredibly grateful that the Girl remained undamaged and is back in her familiar spot so quickly. So that our visitors from all over the world can admire her again, which is what art is for.’
'Vermeer's work was examined in the museum's conservation studio where no damage was discovered'.
