The exhibition, titled Thyssen-Bornemisza & Mauritshuis. A love story between two museums, will be open to the public from October until January 10, 2027. This project is the result of an agreement between both institutions for a simultaneous exchange of prominent pieces from their permanent collections.

The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza will host a collection of 17th-century Dutch masterpieces, including the famous View of Delft (c. 1660-1661) by Johannes Vermeer. These pieces will be integrated into the museum's classical rooms, near the sections dedicated to the same school, offering a more complete vision of this artistic period.

The works from the Mauritshuis span a chronological period from 1615 to 1705, featuring artists such as Ambrosius Bosschaert I, Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Jan Steen, among others. The exhibition will be organized thematically, with rooms dedicated to still lifes, genre painting, landscapes, and figure compositions.

A special room will be exclusively dedicated to Vermeer's View of Delft, recognized as one of the greatest landscape works of all time. The Thyssen-Bornemisza will also display three paintings from its own collections alongside three from the Mauritshuis, creating a dialogue between the institutions.

Among the planned pairings are The Garden of Eden by Jan Brueghel the Elder, which will be shown alongside The Garden of Paradise by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Rubens. Additionally, The Merry Fiddler with a Glass of Wine and The Fiddler, both by Gerard van Honthorst, will be exhibited.

The connection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family with the Netherlands dates back to the early 20th century, when Heinrich settled in The Hague. This relationship, along with the family's passion for Dutch painting, has consolidated the Thyssen-Bornemisza's collection of Dutch art as one of the most valuable in Spain.
