Plan your visit

Main Entrance (Royal Delft Museum entrance)

Located on Rotterdamseweg at the street-facing, clearly signed Royal Delft complex, this is the single public entrance for all visitors. Use it for self-guided museum entry, guided tours, and workshops. After entering, go to reception for ticket scanning or voucher validation; some OTA bookings may need to be exchanged there for a physical ticket or audio guide device. Pre-booked tickets let you skip the on-site ticket-purchase line, but everyone still checks in at reception. Queues are usually modest, though they can build briefly when coach groups arrive or just before tour and workshop start times. Visitor reports mention level or ramped access, but detailed step-free route information is not confirmed.
