Huis Van Meerten: collecting becomes an interior

Museumhuis Van Meerten in Delft brings together architectural fragments, pottery and furniture. The interior is itself an important subject, with a large hall and separate rooms as parts of the route.

Plan your visit ↗

Fragments in a new whole

Within the house, an architectural fragment may be given a different place from the one it originally had. See how the collection combines such elements and what the audio tour says about those choices.

Delftware too

Pottery and furniture make the rooms more than a collection of architectural details. Take time to see how it all fits together, without judging each piece in isolation from the interior.

A personal room

Dina van Meerten’s room and a safe are mentioned as points of interest. The explanation helps you understand their place in the story of the house, without reading a life story into the furnishings yourself.

Before you go

The house is not wheelchair accessible. Check the current Thursday-to-Sunday schedule and ticket conditions; the Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) does not give regular free admission here.
