Delft holds no Vermeer paintings: they are in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the Rijksmuseum and museums around the world. The Vermeer Centrum, a step from the Markt, on the Voldersgracht, explains the painter in his own city: how he lived, how he worked with light and colour, which pigments he used and where the places he painted were. There are demonstrations of how oil paint is made, and the audio guide is included.
It is open every day from 10:00 to 17:00. It costs €15 for adults, €7.50 for ages 13 to 18 and €2 for ages 7 to 12. If you are going on to The Hague afterwards, it is the best preparation for seeing Girl with a Pearl Earring at the Mauritshuis.
