Vermeer Centrum Delft Review

Very interesting exhibition that conveys a lot of knowledge about the painter's work in a very vivid way.

Not only the Vermeer museum, but the entire old city of Delft, has a lot to offer for the city visitor

Superb museum. Located in the center, you can incorporate his visit with that of the city of Delft. The Vermeer Center is very didactic and valuable in detail. You will learn more about the man, the painter, his method of painting, ... but also about his mentors, people who have marked his life and his death. A very excellent mention on the explanations of his play of light and the place of love in his work. The very dynamic and lively explanations are transmitted via an audioguide for free. Obviously available in French.
To try absolutely.

Different, well presented, and informative. Well worth the 9 entrance

Informative: I really learned something about Vermeer's vision and technique. Pricey ( 8) as there are no paintings.

And very interesting for those who are passionate about art. It is not a museum, but gives the painter's home that has been transformed into a cultural center with many of his life and work. There you will find copies of all his works organized in chronological order and with audioguy telling secrets of his paintings. Delft is a beautiful little town. On Saturdays there is a very lively flea market on the streets.

Great place to learn about the painter and his painting techniques. You need time to enjoy the place! I will definitely return.

Beautiful place
Not a museum because no real painting but an educational place where to learn a lot about his works, his methods and that of other artists
All this in a beautiful little town
Awesome

Vermeer is an amazing painter. Nice exhibition about love.

I was a bit disappointed they were all reproductions

Fascinating museum (3 floors - visit of 2 hours soon) with an explanation of the life, work and techniques of the painter Vermeer, with copies of all his (few) paintings; although at least one original work in his own city / museum would have liked ...

Very nice reproductions allowing to recognize almost all of Vermeer's works and the story of his life

Take a look at the recreation of his workshop. You will be surprised.

There are no original works by Vermeer, but that was known. The exhibition is interesting for those who want to gain more insight into his painting techniques. You see, for example, that Vermeer often painted the same thing, but in a different way. Or with a different attitude. Very clever. Certainly for a 17th century painter, without an extensive studio.

At first did not intend to go in, but here are copies of the entire Vermeer production. Good audio guide that explained the symbolism in the paintings. Worth 9 .

The visit to the center must be started in the basement by watching a movie about Delft and all his paintings, which are photocopied in a real size. Afterwards you can learn about the production of pigments, perspective and light in his oeuvre. As a Vermeers fan, I spent 3 hours in the center, but for non-fans it's probably enough to hallow 1 hour here. Mandatory to Vermeers fans.

A very nice exhibition with all Vermeer reproductions in actual size. There is also a continuous film of 6 minutes in which information is given about his life / work. The exhibition is also interactive. All works are on the ground floor. On the first floor (elevator available) there is an explanation of how Vermeer used all types of light. You also see pigments, brushes, paint that he used. And carries a film about the restoration of one of his works. In short, educational and fascinating.

Wow!!! Couldn t believe how amazing it was to see and experience. Make sure to have a waffle and haring!

Loved this place. I am a massive Vermeer fan. Very informative audio tour in English to give background and artistic interpretation.

Nice exhibition. Unfortunately only reproductions are shown

Very interesting interpretation center on Vermeer and its use of light. Regret: no publication on this theme at the store

Excellent presentation on Vermeer. Well worth making it first stop in Delft. About a 20 minute walk from train station.

In Vermeer's house, there are reproductions of his works perfectly commented and compared, they explain his techniques of light, colors etc., with audio guides in all languages, an essential visit in Delft

Nice place to hangout.. plenty of shops to eat and shop around

Really transported alongside Vermeer who makes us discover his incredible secrets. Wonderful!

We really liked the whole area. Only the reckless moped and cyclists are not. I drive about 8000 km a year.

Original stuff. For example, I gave a booklet about Vermeer in Spanish to my Spanish son-in-law. Velasques cannot compete with that !!

giving it a 5 because some jackass gave it a 1. you're welcome. :)

Very cool museum exploring the timeline of vermeer's works and the city lived in. While none of the paintings were original, it was still nice to see the completeness of his work and the prints were detailed enough to help you appreciate his skill.
It helped that we watched Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003), which is highly fictionalized but also well done and gives some interesting historical context.

It offers a nice insight into Vermeer and his method. But it is not as interesting as making people believe at first sight. The replicas of the works are beautiful in themselves, but they are of course replicas

I found it a bit confusing, but interesting to visit.

I loved visiting this place. It was a great way to learn more about the wonderful artist and his time. Seeing reproductions of all his known works displayed in chronological order amongst other exhibits that provided historical context was a great way to start our visit to Delft.

Great little museum about Vermeer, the dutch painter that lived in Delft.
Visit takes around 1/2hours.
Shop is very nice and has a lot of stuff, also a cafe.
Downstairs they have a permanent exposition on the guy, painting, history...
Upstairs there is a 'technical' exposition on vermeer techniques. This is what really makes the visit worth it!

Lovely museum with English descriptions and audio guide.

Only reproductions of Vermeer but the museum is very interesting on the techniques used by the painter including the work of light and perspectives as well as painters from which he was inspired.
In short the museum is worth visiting to understand the painting of Veermer.

Good copy museum .. and the most interesting thing in this museum are two girls with pearl earings ... Both good paintings. What else was interesting to know about color pigments ..
I liked that here stamps can be purchased - featuring a girl with pearl earings ..;)

If you want to be fined, you should mainly come to Delft by car. Here are several zones that will give you high fines if you already drive by car. Bag fillers all! And parking nearby is therefore dramatic. One of the reasons I never come here again. The parking is dredging.

I am very interested in painters and Vermeer has always appealed to me. Especially since I've been to his museum. You will learn a lot about his life and work here.

what incredible detail work in its day. The museum is very well structured and educational.

Very good. Even for someone who never cared for him. Take the audio guide!

Signed up for a museum tour on Sunday. What fun because to do with it. Guided tour is recommended.

The offer was a bit scanty, but the explanation about Vermeer's work was extensive.

Very nice city center, do not forget the parking ticket ( 90.50 penalty)

Interesting overview of his paintings and use of light

Beautiful the Vermeer Centrum Delft, a little pricey 9 admission price.

Very worthwhile to get there and also nice coffee and right next to it biesieklette to park your bike for free super

Nice museum to find out more about the painter Vermeer. Extensive souvenir shop.

A great informative exhibition. Recommend going on this.

It is called Vermeer Center, undoubtedly there is a lot of knowledge but the rest is imitation. Go to a real museum to see real Vermeers.

Nice museum with lots of information about Jan Vermeer. The whole work is exhibited as a replica. Inkl audio guide.

A tourist trap, with a shop full of overpriced items

Loved the guided tour! Very interesting & informative not just about Vermeer but about Delft as well!

Very interesting overview of the work of Johannes Vermeer. Copies of his paintings paint a picture of his oeuvre and his great talents in portraying people and situations. His goal with light and reflections really stands out because of this and the non-connoisseur is also fascinated by the great craftsmanship. All the world-famous paintings by him are so recognizable to everyone that it is striking that he has produced relatively few paintings, but that there are so many top pieces in between. Really worth a visit and an encouragement to view the originals too!

Didn't actually go into the museum - only the gift shop.
The shop was good - had a good variety of higher-end items (books, etc.) for sale. Reasonable prices. Very friendly, helpful staff.

Nice museum. Neat, clean, lots of info. Ideal headsets with NFC

The nostalgic museum itself. Charmingly Dutch. And delicious seafood and fish in a roll bought in a booth by the canal. recommend

There was no original, but it was good to know Vermeer's chronology, work, and Delft's history.

Good examples of the work of Vermeer (reproductions) Good historical information about the artist and Delft.

For the 9.00 you have to pay to get in, I find too much, because it is only photos that you see and there is no one painting.

Very interesting museum if you do not want to see the paintings of Vermeer but his way of treating his paintings and the way he saw the light in the paintings
The decor was cold for the big white wall exhibition ...
The souvenirs had very reasonable prices

Beautifully decorated. Well worth it. With audio info. Useful.

It's awesome how the creators managed to create a presentation of a major Dutch artist without a single original. Particularly fascinating are the explanations to Vermeer's use of light and the history of restoration.

Detailed dip in the history of Vermeer but unfortunately there are no works but only the detailed description of his works and his artistic path explains very well his painting techniques. Recommended only for fans but before visiting the many Dutch museums with its Works.

Souvenirs printed books of the great Vermeer. Recommended and very friendly staff
