The Mauritshuis has been nominated for this year’s BankGiro Lottery Museum Prize. The museum is shortlisted with two non-art museums for a cash prize of € 100,000. Winning this prize would allow the museum’s restoration team to restore Paulus Potter’s enormous painting, The Bull, to its former glory under the supervision of conservator Abbie Vandivere. If the Mauritshuis wins, a special restoration project, in full public view, will be organized to allow as many people as possible to observe and enjoy the restoration process of this iconic painting.
