The museum covers three areas. The first covers the buildings connection to William the Silent. You can see the bullet holes in the wall from where he was assassinated here in 1584. I found this the most interesting section. The other two smaller sections cover paintings from old Delft Masters and Delftware. The museum has a small cafe and gift. Overall I really liked this museum.

I had a wonderful experience at the Prinsenhof Museum in Delft. What really impressed me was the flow of the exhibits. The museum takes you through the life of William of Orange, also known as William the Silent, in chronological order. I didn't know much about him before, but this museum brought his story and its impact on Dutch history to life. Learning about William's children and the broader context of the Spanish and Netherlands war was truly fascinating. The museum itself is a delight. It's very interactive, which kept me engaged the whole time – and I confess, I have a bit of a short attention span! The beautiful artwork displayed throughout the exhibits added another layer to the experience. One exhibit that particularly surprised me was the one dedicated to Delft Blue pottery. I never knew about the history of these iconic blue vases and their connection to the Netherlands. It was fascinating to learn about their production and significance. Overall, I highly recommend the Prinsenhof Museum to anyone interested in Dutch history, particularly the life of William of Orange and the Spanish and Netherlands war. The museum is well-organized, informative, and engaging, making it a great experience for all.

This museum is undoubtedly the best experience in Delft. Full of historical insights on William of Orange aka William the Silent. The museum used to be a Royal Palace with bullet holes of an assassination visible on a staircase. A must see if visiting Delft.

I have been to the Prinsenhof a number of times and every time that I visit I see new details, paintings that I missed last time, and exhibitions. For anyone with a love of art, particularly that of "The Golden Age" this museum is a joy. It is far less crowded that many similar attraction in The Netherlands and is a wonderful, relaxed few hours. The cafe is also excellent btw. If you are anywhere in the area then take a detour and visit. FYI this is the house/palace ("hof" is literally 'court') HOWEVER, be aware that at the time of writing (September 2024) it has been announced that the Prinsenhof will close in January 2025 for (a planned) TWO years for a planned major revamp.
