Wendy Fossen of Casa dell’Arte works in the Mauritshuis as well as the Kunstmuseum (both in The Hague) and organises museum tours in English. Regular guests on my tours are the parents of the British School The Netherlands in The Hague/Voortschoten, parents of the British School Amsterdam as well as a number of expat museum groups.
Private tours in the Mauritshuis can be held on all the temperorary exhibitions and the permanent collection where Vermeer’s Girl with the Pearl Earring and Rembrandt’s Anatomy lesson are part of the highlight tour. A thematic tour for instance on Symbolism in 17th century Art or Women in the Mauritshuis are also possible. On Valentine’s Day you can even book a private Tour d’Amour!
The Kunstmuseum is home to the largest colection of Mondriaan paintings in the world and displays a huge collection of Delftware. In this museum I am available for private tours in English on both the permanent as well as the temporary exhibitions such as DIOR. A New Look.
All tours can either be combined with a city walk through the historic center of The Hague, or the city walk can be booked seperately. My lovely hometown The Hague as well as the beautiful city of Delft where I do tours as well, can boast on more than 750 years of history.
Contact me HERE if you want more information on a museum tour or city walk. All private tours cost €150,- with a maximum of 15 participants for the museum tours and 19 for the city walks. The use of my own whisper system is always included in the price.
In January 2025 I plan to do a NEW course in English: Fabulous Female Artists which focusses on great women artists throughout art history. After this ten week hybrid course you will be able to name many more female artists!
In spring 2023 I gave a six part course on Mythology which is now availble on demand, click on the image below for more info.
On the occasion of the Vermeer exhibition in Amsterdam in 2023 I have given a number of lectures for the BSN The Hague and BSN Amsterdam, as well as for the Dutch Speaking Association in Doha, Qatar.

Zoom Tours
Right now the Mauritshuis is the only museum in the world that offers you a megapixel view of more than 30 works in the collection. In this tour I will take you around the museum and you will feel as if you are actually there.
Apart from a number of highlights, I will show you the lesser known works located in the little cabinets. With a real live tour we are never allowed to go there with groups, so I am delighted to have the opportunity to show you these as well.
I not only offer tours for individuals but also for companies. It is a wonderful way to take you employees out of their daily routine and have them enjoy something entirely different. I have experience conducting tours via Zoom, Teams or Webex and are willing to use any other system your company might use. I promise you that it will be a great success. Not sure? Have a look at the enthousiastic response here and here and you doubt no more!
Contact me HERE if you want more information for a (digital) group tour of the Mauritshuis for your travel agency or if you wish to make enquires for city walks of The Hague in English.
