Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' to Visit Japan for the First Time in 14 Years; Exhibition to be Held at Osaka Nakanoshima Museum of Art

美術手帖
Vermeer's masterpiece, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring,' will be exhibited in Japan for the first time in 14 years at the Osaka Nakanoshima Museum of Art in 2026.

Summary

Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (c. 1665), owned by the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands, is scheduled to visit Japan. This marks the first time the painting has been shown in Japan in 14 years, following the 2012 exhibition. The visit is facilitated by the Mauritshuis's temporary closure for renovation work. The museum's director, Martine Gosselink, commented that this is likely the last special opportunity to bring the 'Girl' to her many Japanese admirers. The painting will be displayed exclusively at the Osaka Nakanoshima Museum of Art from August 21 to September 27, 2026, with no other regional tour planned.
