At the site of the former St. Luke’s Guild, you’ll find full-scale, high-quality reproductions of his entire body of work. Discover his mentors, explore the stories behind his masterpieces, and learn about the techniques, materials, and mastery of light that made Vermeer world-famous. Wander through three floors of history and creativity, and don’t miss the delightful gift shop full of unique Vermeer-inspired items.
