On October 11, the evening programme takes the form of a conference dinner at the Prinsenhof Museum.

The Prinsenhof Museum takes vistors on a journey through Delft's rich past and artistic and cultural heritage. It was also the scene of one of the most important events in Dutch history: the assassination of William the Silent. You can still see the bullet holes in the wall of the museum.

The Prinsenhof is located at 2 km from the main venue at TU Delft. You can easily go by foot, which will take you around 25 minutes, or go the first part by bus and walk the last 10 minutes.

From 1595 to 1972, it was the place for the Delft cattle markets. Nowadays the square is a cozy terrace surrounded by large trees.

The Agneta Park is the oldest factory colony in the Netherlands with a landscape layout. The oldest part is from 1882-1885. E. Gugel designed the cottage-style houses. Landscape architect L.P. Zocher built the park.

The city hall, built in renaissance style (1618-1620) is constructed around the medieval tower Het Steen which dates back to the 13th century. The tower was used as a prison whose most famous prisoner was Balthasar Gerards, the murderer of William the Silent.

Vermeer’s View of Delft is probably the most famous cityscape painted by a Dutch master in the 17th century. The painting shows the view from the top floor of a house on the Hooikade, which looks out over the south side of the harbour.
