Mauritshuis probably, room 15 is the room with 'meisje met de parel' - 'girl with the pearl earring'

Lol in that case the 'alleyway' they went through was our houses of government 😅

That’s definitely the place, I’m terrible with pronouncing Dutch names so I couldn’t say it. I’m wondering if maybe there was a front entrance that was under repair or something because I entered from an alley and the entrance was below street level, I went down a ramp. And there wasn’t a sign that I noticed.

The houses of government are currently under renovation, they just closed them off a few weeks ago. So it’s entirely possible the signage isn’t quite working right yet.
