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.
We are sorry you left with such a bad feeling. We clearly indicate that we show reproductions of all of his works (these have been made in co-operations with all relevant museums around the world). What the Vermeer Centrum Delft shows is the story about Vermeer, his city, his technique, his unique use of light, his use of color. A visit to our center is not about the quality of the paintings: seeing the real works can not be beat. It is about learning all there is to learn about the painter.
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.
We clearly indicate on our website, other platforms and even the moment you buy a ticket at the counter that we do not have any real works of Vermeer. The Vermeer Centrum Delft shows digital reproductions of all Vermeers works. As you may have seen in our exhibition the original works have been acquired by the most famous museums in the world and to see them would require extensive travel. We are not a museum, we do not call ourselves a museum, we are a Vermeer exhibition, where you can see all his works together, so you can experience the change in size, colours, themes. Also you could have learned about the painter, his city, his uses of light, colour, perspective.
A very comprehensive and informative exhibit of Vermeer’s life and career. The lower floor contains reproductions of all of his works in chronological order and in their original size, each labeled with their current location. There are additional displays which provide helpful background about the city of Delft, the art scene, and the role of guilds during Vermeer’s time. The other floors feature his technique, use of light, and recurrent themes in his paintings. The free audioguide and videos are excellent. If you appreciate Vermeer’s work or want to learn more about him this is a worthwhile visit.
Dear C, thank you for your comprehensive review. As Vermeer was known as the 'sfinx of Delft' we have done our best to gather all there is to know about this remarkable person, his family life, his works, his technique and his city. Glad you enjoyed it. Kind regards!
