Eliot's Travels

The first place we visited was Museum Nusantara, devoted to Indonesia. It's permanent exhibit shows the 400-year old link between Indonesia and the Netherlands. It has beautiful artwork, carved boats, clothing, and musical instruments from Indonesia. There was a temporary exhibit of some wonderful wood carvings that we all enjoyed. Miles and Mary had fun listening to the wooden chimes outside the museum.


Next, we walked across the pedestrian path to Museum Het Prinsenhof. This museum tells the story of William of Orange and the Golden Age of Delft. The exhibit includes some nice artwork and old Delft pottery. We even got to see the bullet hole in the wall where Willem of Orange was assassinated. Miles fell asleep inside the museum. We lost Mary inside, so we waited outside until she emerged!
We walked through the little garden next to the Prinsenhof. Grandma, Eliot and I pose on the Delft pottery bench. We wandered on down toward the Oude Kerk and then Choorstraat.
