Van Meerten House and its collection

Van Meerten House
Source

Discover the extraordinary home of Lambert van Meerten. This successful industrialist was an enthusiastic collector of old building fragments, furniture, and Delftware. His collection grew to such an extent that he had a house built especially for it. Also today some of Lambert's extraordinary collection can still be admired throughout the house. A visit to Huis van Meerten feels like a visit to Lambert and his sister Dina. So feel free to behind Lambert's desk and peek into his secret safe. Or have a cup of tea in Dina's cozy room, and add a few stitches to her embroidery. Above all, feel at home!

    The Van Meerten House in Delft, Netherlands, offers visitors a glimpse into the life of the Dutch upper class during the early 20th century. This restored mansion, once home to the Van Meerten family, showcases an impressive collection of Delft Blue pottery and period furnishings. The house's architecture and interior design reflect the Art Nouveau style, with many original features preserved. Visitors appreciate the detailed guided tours that provide context and history of the house and its former inhabitants. The museum's compact size allows for an intimate experience, though some may find the tour a bit brief. The garden, while small, is well-maintained and adds charm to the overall visit. Some visitors note that the museum's focus might be too niche for those not particularly interested in Dutch domestic life or Delft pottery. However, for those keen on these subjects, the Van Meerten House offers a rewarding experience. The museum's location in the heart of Delft makes it easily accessible and a good addition to a day exploring the city's cultural offerings.
