Paintbrushes carefully touch the white earthenware, whilst elsewhere clay is poured into handmade moulds. In this pottery, craftsmen have been creating iconic Delft Blue for almost 400 years. Royal Delft, established in 1653, is the last remaining original Delftware factory in Delft from the 17th century that still produces hand painted Delft Blue according to centuries-old tradition. Besides a visit to the factory you get to see our museum with an extensive collection of historic and modern pieces. Discover the history, craftsmanship and innovation of this royal museum during your visit.

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Ruiz Picasso, the most important Spanish and universal artist of all time, a genius born in Malaga at the beginning of the 20th century. To commemorate his life and work, an extensive program of exhibitions and events is planned around the world.
Royal Delft Museum, the factory museum for Delft pottery, presents the lesser-known part of Picasso’s oeuvre: An exhibition about his life as a ceramist and his ceramic work.
