A beautiful experience! Seeing the history of the blue pottery was fascinating, but the real highlight was the café in the middle (Brasserie 1653). Sitting in the courtyard garden felt like absolute heaven—so peaceful and green. You must try the cappuccino; it is delicious and served in their stunning, signature Delft Blue cups. A perfect, artistic break!

We scheduled half day in Delft and I felt that this museum would be a must-go and it surely is. The opportunity of a glimpse of the workshop area is amazing. It was an enjoyable trip getting some knowledge of Dutch porcelain history, appreciation of beautiful porcelain art pieces. It is open on Monday which is a bonus.

They also have a sizable gift shop, where you can place orders or buy already-made pieces. Th...
