One can start by watching a short wide-screen introductory video. Further on the ground floor there are copies of Vermeer's paintings with short descriptions and the audio guide also has further comments about some of them. It's a pity that the original work is not on display, but it was still quite pleasant and educational to look at the copies of the paintings. On the first and second floors there are more explanations of how Vermeer used for example perspective, space, colour and lighting, but unfortunately I didn't really have enough to work through these in detail. There is also a shop (and toilets and lockers) on the ground floor selling some memorabilia (I bought some serviettes). Overall worth the visit and the €12 entry fee.

We visited the day before going to The Hague where we saw Girl With a Pearl Earring. Great way to learn about Vermeer, including the history of art during his time, his use of light, his benefactor and financial history, and to see reproductions of his work. A couple interactive activities, too. Good gift shop. Lockers on ground floor.

This is a small, modern museum in central Delft dedicated to perhaps its most famous artist, Johannes Vermeer. We visited in April 2023. The museum does not include any original works by Vermeer, but there are reproductions and multiple displays about his life and times in Delft. The replica paintings were arranged in a line along the lower level, and each included information about its creation and themes. There are also displays about Vermeer’s artworks and techniques, including one table/display replicating the magnificent interior light demonstrated in many of his interior paintings. Overall, a rather compact museum with ticket prices in line with other comparable institutions. Displays were in both Dutch and English. It was extremely busy when we visited, so many areas were crowded with people, which detracted from the experience. (We did visit during a holiday week.) Amenities included restrooms, lockers, and a large gift shop. There were no issues with photography. Recommended for art and history lovers.
