Municipal Museum het Prinsenhof
The Municipal Museum het Prinsenhof is a former convent where Willem the Silent was assassinated in 1584 (the bullet hole in the wall is covered in Perspex to protect it from inquisitive visitors). The museum displays various objects telling the story of the Eighty Years War with Spain, as well as 17th-century paintings.

C
Vermeer Centre Delft
Sort of a high-brow theme park, the Vermeer Centre Delft explores the artist’s life and works in detail, but actually has none of his paintings. Displays go into great detail about each of his paintings and place the subjects in their historical context.
