The Vermeer Centre is a compact museum that brings the world of Johannes Vermeer to life. Since original Vermeer paintings are scattered across the globe, the centre displays high-quality reproductions of all 37 known works, allowing visitors to study his entire oeuvre in one place. Interactive exhibits explore his painting techniques, use of light, and the historical context of 17th-century Delft. You can also see a reconstruction of his studio and learn about the camera obscura. It’s an engaging stop for art lovers and those wanting to understand Vermeer’s genius before visiting the originals elsewhere.
