Stedelijk Museum het Prinsenhof
Stedelijk Museum het Prinsenhof is a museum in Delft, in the province of South Holland (Zuid-Holland), the Netherlands. The museum building is a 15th-century former monastery (St. Agathaklooster), that was used by Stadtholder William of Orange as his residence. It was also where William of Orange was murdered in 1584: bullet holes in the stone wall can still be seen today.
The collection of the museum includes artefacts from Delft in the 17th century: portraits, tapestries, and handcrafted pottery and silver. There are permanent exhibitions about life in 17th century Delft and William of Orange.
