The Royal Delft Museum is located in the charming city of Delft, the birthplace of the world-famous Delft Blue pottery. Housed in a historic 17th-century factory, this fascinating museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying the rich heritage of this iconic Dutch craft. Founded in 1653, Royal Delft is the only remaining Delft earthenware factory from the 17th century and still produces handmade and hand-painted ceramics according to age-old traditions. What to seeOn entry in the museum, visitors are immersed in the fascinating history of Delft Blue pottery, which has developed over the centuries from an imitation of Chinese porcelain into a unique and recognizable Dutch product.

HighlightA highlight of the museum is the impressive collection of both antique and modern Delftware.
