I am so grateful to those who developed this app. I live in a place with no great museums, and the gift of being able to see these artworks is great indeed. Thank you.It’s possible to see every artwork in the museum clearly. It’s possible to select any painting from a list for viewing, or to virtually walk around the museum. The detail is incredible. There is a short introductory tour. This app is 200% worth the price.

Not worth 1.99. Content too limited. Disappointing.

The detail and photos of the 10 paintings in the collection is fine. But I was expecting much more content considering the size and quality of the Mauritshuis collection. This is more of an advertisement for the developer of the software. If more art works are added later it might be worth it but for now don’t waste your money like I did.
