A study centre on the old Guild of St Luke site showing full-size reproductions of all 37 paintings, plus how they were made.
Every Vermeer is somewhere else, so this does the next most useful thing: it puts all thirty-seven side by side at actual size, which no museum on earth can, and then explains the camera obscura, the pigments and the studio conditions that produced them. Coming here before the Mauritshuis changes what you see when you get there. It sits on the site of the painters' guild Vermeer headed, which is a claim about the ground rather than the collection.
Highlights
- All 37 works at full size
- On the old Guild of St Luke site

Insider tips
- →The centre says an hour to an hour and a half, and that is about right.
- →Do this before the Mauritshuis rather than after, if the order is yours to choose.
