About the collection
Over a period of one hundred and forty years, the collection of the Museum Prinsenhof Delft has become a diverse collection of paintings, earthenware, applied art, works on paper and modern and contemporary art. At our historic site – the former St Agatha monastery – we tell the extraordinary story of Delft on the basis of our collection. The Museum Prinsenhof Delft’s collection focuses on three themes: William the Silent, Delft Masters and Delftware.
