Step into Vermeers world

In the world of Vermeer, you experience 17th century Delft. Wandering through the famous ‘View of Delft’ and encounters with Vermeer's environment and the breeding ground for his talent: the blossoming academic and artistic climate in Delft, his customers, his family and his wealthy mother-in-law.

In Vermeer's world, life-size images of all his paintings have been brought together. An oeuvre of 34 paintings in which Vermeer created a whole new world

Vermeer's studio

A whole floor dedicated to Vermeer's approach to his work. How did Vermeer paint his incredible pictures full of light, tranquillity, harmony and mystery? In the light studio, you discover how Vermeer experimented with light. You can experiment with the camera obscura and, like Vermeer, play with colour, views and perspective. Here too, you literally step into a Vermeer painting.

Vermeer lab

The magic of Vermeer's work still inspires and fascinates artists, scientists and art lovers today. In the Vermeer lab, visitors can explore the world of Vermeer through interactive media and encounters.

On the 2nd floor of the Vermeer Centrum, the exhibition "love messages from Vermeer" is shown.
