With your Royal Delft Experience tickets, you’ll have front row seats to the continuing practice of an art form that has survived through the centuries! The city of Delft was at the epicenter of the craze surrounding blue and white pottery during the 1600’s.

It’s one of the most creative things to do in Delft!
