Vermeer’s workroom

Vermeer’s room is interactive and you can look around. Drag and click to move through space. You’re standing in the middle of the room, so don’t forget to pull away so you can see behind you. In this room, experts and jury members Peter Roelofs and Abe Vandeveer explain more about Vermeer’s life and how the painter worked.
For example, click on the table with painting equipment to learn more about the paints and pigments Vermeer used. Or click on the altar to see what role faith played in the painter’s life.
