Vermeer Centrum Delft Review

As a fan of Vermeer, to see all his paintings together (in reproductions) is really a treat. Another must visit when in Delft.

A very interesting place to learn everything worth knowing about the artist Vermeer and his pictures. There are explanations of the pictures and other objects in Dutch and English. However, the audio door is also available in German. I can only recommend this museum.

Fantastic place! You learn almost everything about Vermeer's paintings and life

Delft always remains special. You always discover new alleys and special places. In between, a visit to Museum Princehof or Vermeer Museum is a good idea.

Beautiful period manufacture showing, exhibitor, beautiful achievements of their products. The know-how is put forward in all positions namely from the factory to the painting until the exhibition and store. The visit is worth it!

Although they are all copies of the real works, the overview exhibition, with the help of the audio tour, the accompanying texts and the choices of informative subjects, was more than worthwhile. We were fascinated for more than 1 1/2 hours.

No picture of vermeer .museum that explains his paintings. That's all. Except this table is a variant of the girl has the pearl and that I find very beautiful.

Used to be very powerful place. The Museum has a lots of info about J. Vermeer

The service is not very welcoming, only reproductions of poor quality.

A place to visit! And Delft itself? - a wonderfully intimate little town with a fantastic history.

All the works of Vermeer in one place! Of course, it is not the originals, but to see them all together is in chronological order is definitely interesting! Extremely kind staff

Nice to see all works by Vermeer (reproductions).
Informative.
A few works from Vermeer I have seen in real life

Good audio guides but there were too much reproductions

Arrived late in the day and the staff were incredibly helpful. Lockers available for storage of bags. Didn't get to see everything as time was short but enjoyed seeing prints of all Vermeer's paintings in one place.

Wonderful place and so enlightening and informative

This is not a museum for the purpose of exhibiting, but rather an open lesson for students. Vermeer's biography can also be found on Google. Nothing in the interior is reminiscent of the era.

Fantastic exhibition about the Delft painter Johannes Vermeer. Multi-storey exhibition and another opportunity to shop and have a drink.

I was touched when I read the letter that Catherine wrote to the council, requesting debt forgiveness.

It's a fun place if you like art and dutch history. I think it was a bit unclear where things where.

Well organized and informative. A nice "walk" to get to know the art of this unique painter and the era in which he lived

Great presentation of information about all of Vermeers works plus background on life and times, techniques and influences, even though all works here are reproduced no originals. With various types of static and interactive displays and a very good free audioguide (a must) was able to get a very good appreciation of his works, in particular the symbolism of objects gestures etc, but mostly about his most renowned aspect the mastery of light and reflection. A true Master
The building is easy to find in centre of Delft, and is compact so can get around easiily, has elevator to get between floors. I suggest allowing 2 hours for this experience.

Went here totally unprepared. Fortunately, it was immediately clear that only replicas of Vermeer's work can be found here. But in retrospect I understand why: there are not many paintings by his hand and most of them have "disappeared" abroad.

What I will not soon forget is the explanation of how to paint light. Phenomenal explanation in the light studio!

A complete waste of time and money. There is nothing here that you could not see in a book on Vermeer. Don't be expecting to see any genuine art by the man. OK, the paintings are too rare, but there is nothing here. No sketches, no letters. Right from the start they say that not a lot was known about Vermeer. Well, then perhaps you will struggle to create a Vermeer Center!! Seriously. Save your money. Avoid.

Quite good - interesting way to show history. But it doesn't have original paintings.

Very good museum for Vermeer lovers, but it is only informational about his work

A real tourist trap. Where you hope to encounter real paintings by Vermeer, they get no further than a few copies.

Nice overview of the life and work of Vermeer, who made only 36 paintings during his life. Not real paintings (of course), but full-size reproductions. This way you can see the entire oeuvre in one go! Furthermore, interesting explanations on the use of paint and symbolism. Museum year card not valid, because there are no paintings! Strange reasoning. Still 2 discount. Entrance 8 pp.

Expected to see at least one real painting, but they were all photographs of Vermeer's paintings. It was also informative and interesting.

Despite the lack of scripts - very interesting. You begin to understand how to watch Vermeer, what to pay attention to. All done with great love.

Such an amaZing and interactive museum. By far one of the best museums I've been to in Europe.

Nice to have seen. The audio tour was very interesting

Very interesting place to discover even more about the fantastic Johannes Vermeer

It is worth visiting. Vermeer opens a window to your country's past in detail.

A wonderful encounter with Vermeer.
Vividly illustrated. No original but originally one is in the time staggered. A MUST with a Delft visit. Wonderful! A caffeteria and a book shop complete the visit. Admission 9 euros incl. Translator per Headphone.Bin been thrilled, although an original would have set me in ecstasy.

Really nice museum of Vermeer replicas, his life and paintings are explained in the walls and near the paintings. It explains a bit about painting thecniques and the obscure camera as well. I would advice you to watch first the movie "The girl of the pearl earring" with Scarlet Johansson before the museum because it's about his most famous painting. It's not that type of museum endless that you get bored if you don't understand so much about art, but it has the essential.

Nice overview of the life and work of Johannes Vermeer

Beautiful well-adapted new building between the old buildings in Delft.

In the Vermeer Center you can get acquainted with an interesting interpretation and analysis of his paintings. Although there are no originals, it is worth getting acquainted with the rich collection of his works and the painting technique used by Vermeer.
