Introduction
The Prince's Court Museum, located in the old town of Delft, Netherlands, was originally the residence of William I, the Father of the Dutch Nation (William the Silent), and is now a museum telling the history of the Dutch royal family and Delft. William I led the Eighty Years' War against Spanish rule in the 16th century and is the founder of the Dutch Republic. He was assassinated in Delft in 1584 and buried in the royal tomb of the New Church. The museum displays the life of William I, the Dutch War of Independence, and the royal lineage through artifacts, paintings, and multimedia presentations. It is a core place to understand the founding history of the Netherlands and the origins of the Orange royal family, combining academic and memorial value.
