While its famous Girl With A Pearl Earring by 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer is away in Amsterdam, the Mauritshuis Art Museum in The Hague is showing a collection of works by contemporary artists of their own version of the painting.

Some 170 modern versions are taking their turn at precisely where the original usually hangs, the museum said recently, showing a selection on its website.
