#mygirlwithapearl - The Immersive Edition

Starting 4th September, we invite you to experience art in a completely new way at Fabrique des Lumières.

In collaboration with the Mauritshuis museum, where Vermeer’s famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is on display in The Hague, we are proud to present #mygirlwithapearl - The Immersive Edition. This new exhibition reimagines the timeless beauty of the 17th century masterpiece for the present day. Following-up on the success of the Mauritshuis’ 2023 #mygirlwithapearl project and our own immersive exhibition, From Vermeer to Van Gogh, Dutch Masters, this experience offers a fresh and original take on an iconic work of art.

#Mygirlwithapearl - The Immersive Edition is showcased in our Studio, adjacent to the main Hall - a 80m² space crafted to fully transport you into the art. For 7 minutes long, thanks to state-of-art projections and specially designed soundtrack, you'll be immersed in many modern interpretations of Girl with a Pearl Earring submitted by people from around the world. This total audiovisual experience highlights how Vermeer's masterpiece continues to captivate to this day, in a beautiful symbiosis of old and new.

Feeling inspired? Now's your chance to see your artwork displayed in a museum! Until December 1st, we invite you to submit your unique version of Girl with a Pearl Earring. Join the global contest and contribute to the ongoing conversation around this timeless painting.

A brilliant collaboration

#Mygirlwithapearl - The Immersive Edition is a continuation of the Mauritshuis’ 2023 project #mygirlwithapearl, which sparked a wave of creativity with over 3,400 submissions, 170 of which were showcased for eight weeks in the museum. In alignment with our current immersive exhibition, From Vermeer to Van Gogh: Dutch Masters, this collaboration is a natural fit, allowing us to continue bringing people closer to Dutch classical art in an innovative and engaging way.
