Delft Day 17 (10 Feb 08, Sun) (Part 1)

>> Thursday, February 14, 2008

Kian Shing and Janan wanted to go to the Asian Supermarket, Xotus, and i decided to go together as Kian Shing and i decided to explore Delft museums after that. We explored Janan's apartment as it is near the supermarket.

The backyard with broken glass pieces and a stagnant pond

The nice dining area

Compact living room

The bicycle store in the basement felt like a scene in a horror movie though. We went to the supermarket next but it is closed. Kian Shing and I headed to the museums near the old town center next.

Passing by a traditional water tank

The entrance fee is a whopping 10 euros and we did not go inside to tour the old water tank.

A huge barrel

The old church with its slanting tower

Museum Lambert van Meerten

Using our museumkaart, we have free entrance to the museum and went inside.

This small museum is housed in a completely furnished 19th century canal house. Lambert van Meerten built this dream house in 1892, using antique building material. This neo-renaissance building was one of the first houses in Delft to have its own sewer system, central heating, running water, electricity and gas.

The living room

Photos, sculpture and some paper cuttings

Another room

A seismic monitor?

Paintings

Tiles line the stairway

The garden

An ancient lamp i suppose
