Conference venue: Het Arsenaal

Het Arsenaal is one of Delft’s icons and an essential element of the townscape. The literally picturesque and ‘Vermeerian’ (Johannes Vermeer) complex has a high cultural/historical value. No wonder it’s listed as a National Monument. Over the centuries, the buildings have had many functions, inhabitants, and visitors.

Het Arsenaal will function as the heart of our symposium on the first and third day of Rijkswaterstaat’s International symposium.

Address: Korte Geer 1, 2611 CA Delft

Opening dinner: Museum Prinsenhof

Delft has a rich artistic history, as evidenced by the collection of paintings, applied arts, and works on paper in the city’s Museum Prinsenhof. The museum occupies the historic Prinsenhof complex, the former monastery at which William the Silent (1533–1584) frequently took up residence.
During the first evening of the Rijkswaterstaat symposium you may visit the museum after closing hours and enjoy a networking dinner.
