After watching it, I had feelings for the Girl with a Pearl Earring and even bought the painting. I didn’t know I could appreciate the painting, as if the painting could express my feelings at that time.

You can buy it immediately and use it at the intersection. There are many Dutch buildings inside. You can see all the buildings at once as long as you come here. It is very delicate and nice. You can take a bus from the city to the place, which is convenient and cheap. If you are not in a hurry, it is worth a visit!

It is very convenient to buy tickets online. The entrance is on B1. The architectural design style of the museum is gorgeous. There are quite a lot of works inside, which can make people completely immersed in the palace of art. There are many visitors, so it is recommended to bring your own headphones. The museum has its own APP to download so that you can directly listen to the introduction of the works. You can store your bags at the counter for free; there is no extra charge for using the toilet.
