Billet d'entrée au musée Vermeer Centrum Delft

Perhaps it was my expectation to see something original. I was deeply disappointed. There is nothing original in the museum; neither the building, nor the artifacts, paintings, or furniture. The exhibit could be made in any building, any country. This is an educational center very nicely organized and richly documented, with information all available on the Internet. For the organizers to charge €15 to show NOTHING original is way excessive. This should be a free exhibit to teach about Vermeer. I saw nothing in this museum I could not see in the exact same format on the internet using the very same quality. The only authentic aspect of it was that it was in Vermeer’s birth city. I suggest save yourself €15 and learn about Vermeer on the internet.

This house museum is a must-see. The museum does not contain any paintings by the brilliant artist, however it illustrates all the main works and the various 'hidden' details of each one. Beautiful, on the 1st floor, the details of the 'light' in his painting. Excellent audio guide in Italian. Clean bathrooms.

If you are an art lover or history lover this is a nice stop in Delft. There are no actual works by Vermeer here but reproductions and what history they know about him. Not much is known about Vermeer or his life so some of it is more ponderings than information but it's well presented and the audio tour comes with the price of admission. The one thing I will say is sometimes the (English) audio tour was a bit hard to follow as it was recorded by someone with a thick accent, otherwise i think it was really informational. Since not much is known about Vermeer some of the content was really stretching it. There was 5 small rooms in an area just about light. I skipped them all. There was a really interesting video about someone restoring the Woman in Blue painting. It was about 12 minutes long and on a loop. I think i watched most of it. it was really interesting. Overall i enjoyed it, being a life long lover of art and art history and having read up on the Dutch masters before my trip to the Netherlands but I think if i had brought my husband who is not into art he would have been bored to tears. So if you are an art lover this is a great stop.

Vermeer Centrum Delft is a museum located in the old town of the city, in Holland Region, in the Netherlands. It is the museum, where you can learn about Johannes Vermeer, the painter, who painted the well known painting "Girl with a pearl earring". So, here you can see a lot of paintings of this painter and read about the history of his life. Also, on the last floor, there is a contemporary exposition with re-interpretations of his most famous painting, where you can also paint your own interpretation. Very good for children and adults.

Too much mixed up Not pretty Poor image quality when presented

A fantastic and unforgettable experience for any art and history lover.

We started the Vermeer Centrum with high expectations. Unfortunately, these were not fulfilled. Little worth seeing, a sober building, bad information. Price Performance 15 € totally overdrawn for so little worth seeing. We were very disappointed.

To those who cry that this isn't an art exhibit; of course it's not, and it doesn't suggest to be, so do your homework. This is an awesome primer on Vermeer and the line-up of reproductions displayed in chronological order is a terrific way to put his work into perspective. The area around the Center is historic so take time to see the Vermeer plaque where The Mechelen once stood and the Golden ABC building where Jacob Dissius stored 21 pictures that went to auction after his death in 1696.

This is such a disgrace for people with true sentiment for art. If you a true fan of Vermeer, please skip this! This is not only a total waste of money and time (we left quickly) but an emotional wound! We have seen all of Vermeer's works in Amsterdam several years ago and it really hurt to pay for cheap and bad quality reproductions.Thank you but NO THANK YOU.

Hoping to see a few of Vermeer's paintings, famous for the incredible light that seems to shine from them, we were bitterly disappointed. The whole so called "museum" is filled with cheap reproductions (photos of the paintings) and other works inspired by Vermeer's. This is a disgrace, no one who has even a small affinity to the world of art would do such a thing, exploiting the image of a great master to rip tourists off. Save yourselves the 15€ ticket and buy yourself a book about the artist, I assure you the photos in it will be a better way to learn about him. Photos of paintings are NOT art.
