Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and a beach
The Hague is the Netherlands' seat of government and home to international courts, though Amsterdam is the capital. The Binnenhof, the parliament's historic complex, sits beside the Mauritshuis, a small museum holding masterpieces including Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson. The Peace Palace houses the International Court of Justice. The city is green and stately, and the beach resort of Scheveningen, with its pier, is a tram ride away. Kunstmuseum Den Haag has the world's largest Mondrian collection.
