It’s an amazing experience. You realize that Delft Blue is about more than just vases. And it was especially fascinating to see how the painting technique works. The staircase hall was a wonderful experience, as was the room with the columns and everything. Then we had a drink in the brasserie and sat outside in the garden. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Short cab ride from the hotel to the factory Museum. I have trouble walking and the cab got close to the door for both drop off and for the return trip. I asked if they had a wheel chair to rent and they had one for free. I did not get the tickets printed or down loaded correctly and they were able to get everything fixed. It is a beautiful building with wonderful pieces of art, not just plates. If you are in town it is a must place to go.

Step inside the last remaining original Delft Blue factory, Royal Delft, where artisans have been hand-crafting and painting the blue-and-white ceramics since 1653.

Explore permanent and rotating collections of antique Delftware, contemporary interpretations, and historic artifacts that trace the evolution of this art form.

From shaping clay to painting intricate floral designs, witness master painters and artisans in action firsthand, using techniques used for generations.

With an audio guide in 8 languages, learn about the origins of Delft Blue pottery, its Chinese porcelain influences, and how it became a symbol of Dutch heritage.

Stroll through the inner courtyard garden, a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape. Then relax at Brasserie1653, where you can enjoy refreshments.

Very pleasant throughout but surprised at the wide range of use for the pottery including the architectural aspect. Loved the pictures painted on tiles. A very interesting morning.
