Content of exhibition in Museum Het Prinsenhof
Museum Het Prinsenhof tells the story of William of Orange and his role during the formation of the Dutch Republic. The visitor meets the leading characters from the Dutch Uprising (Eighty-Year War) and learns more about the most important events of this turbulent period.
A collection of art from the 17th century is used to discover the typically Dutch city of Delft from the Golden Age. Pim van den Akker and his colleagues will take the visitors to this special and rich history. They will show how flowers and nature have always moved us.
The flower art on this location moves and shows that art, history, and creativity have the power to make us rediscover our lives and continue to inspire us.
