Royal Delft Museum

Royal Delft has been creating high-quality Delft Blue since 1653. From generation to generation, this
age-old craft is passed on and iconic Delft Blue pieces are still made entirely by hand at the factory.
In our factory museum, you will not only discover our history, but also meet the makers of Delft Blue
in the factory. Then get inspired during a painting workshop and admire the diverse collection in our
shop. For coffee, a delicious lunch or high tea, you are welcome in Brasserie1653.
Royal Delft Museum is open seven days a week from 09:30 to 17:00. You can buy tickets through our
website, but it is also possible to buy a ticket at the museum reception.

Schiedam Windmills

In Schiedam, a city just outside of

Rotterdam, you can find the tallest windmills in the world (heights up to 33 meters!). The windmills
are there because, in the 18th and 19th centuries, Schiedam was the jenever capital of the world.
The windmills played an important role because they would grind the grain, the main ingredient of
jenever.
