It does a great job exploring both history and art- illustrating the social and historical influences on Vermeer and also the principles embodied in his artwork- the use of light, perspective, color, etc. Very well done; good gift shop too. More

It is definitely worth taking the time to go through this museum. You learn so much more than just about the painter, but additionally what life in Delft was like during the 1600s. My friends and I were so glad we took the hour or so to make the visit. More

We knew in advance that the Vermeer Centrum did not have any original artwork by Vermeer, so we were uncertain what to expect. Your visit to this small museum begins with a very well-made and interesting film about Delft and Vermeer. After that, you follow a timeline of Vermeer's paintings -- in quite good reproductions -- along with artifacts and... More
