Royal Delft: pottery between museum and factory

The Royal Delft Museum combines a pottery collection with a working factory. Historic and modern pieces, an audio tour and workshops are the visiting options described.

Plan your visit ↗

An object and how it is made

Hand-painting is an important part of what is on offer. Look at how decoration is applied to a shape and what the route explains about material, production and finishing.

Old and contemporary

The collection description mentions both older and new designs. The Urban Blue programme also links street art with Delft Blue; check the current exhibition if that interests you.

Making your own is separate

Workshops require their own booking and planning. Museum admission does not mean that you can join an activity straight away or that all factory work is shown at all times.

Before you go

Check last admission and public holiday closures. Discuss wheelchair use in advance: the stated access policy distinguishes between ordinary and electric wheelchairs.
