Has anyone here been at this open air museum?I didn´t find any tips with keyword-search.

The Open Air Museum is in Arnhem and not in Delft.
I'm sure you will find information on the Arnhem Travel Guide: http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Netherlands/Provincie_Gelderland/Arnhem-463321/TravelGuide-Arnhem.html
happy travels

Almost forgot my own tip "Winter in the Open Air Museum":
http://members.virtualtourist.com/vt/tfr/1/312/6/1881b6/
Yes, I noticed it´s not in Delft, when I was writing the question, but I didn´t get to move it anymore. I was looking for info about Delft with google,and got this place from link under Delft. Don´t know why.
I did try to find info with keywordsearch in here with"netherlands open air museum" but I didn´t. So thanks for finding it for me! :)
I've been there...Liked it!
I've been there; even had a VT-meeting there:

I didn´t get that with my search,i must have written something different way.
But I did found your page coupple of hours ago pieter.
How similarr it is with zaanse schans? That open air museum would be allready on our way,and for zaanse schans we would need to drive there and back.I know that zs has more windmills, but are those some kind of similar?
The Zaanse Schans has its own location page at:

Yes,I have seen it. But both are told to have artisans at work,both have old buildings etc. Of course it would be nice to see lots of windmills at same place,but if we will not have time for both, maybe we should choose this open air museum. Of course we could visit both,if we do have time.That we will know when we are there, but I like to know the opinion before we leave.
But of course its´hard to say if we like another one better-people do have different taste.
Zaanse Schans has old buildings/mills from only that area.
Open Air Museum has old buildings/one mill (I believe) from different parts of the Netherlands.
If you are looking for wind mills Zaanse Schans would be better.

I just noticed,that we will drive close to Kinderdijk,so maybe we could visit there instead.
I remeber some time people talking here witch one of those two is nicer,and it seemed to be allmost 50/50
Kinderdijk is the most authentic site for windmills, but without shops and so on.

This door can be found right by the Old Church. It was used by William the Silent when he needed to leave Delft for his secret meetings, he was coming to this door using a boat and escaping from the watching eyes of the city residents and other curious people.
Delft pottery,
the canals and bridges,
the old houses some of them from 1500--1600,
the museums'" het prinsenhof".
The V.O.C. museum place.
The Army museum. Never miss the "Grote Markt",
one site the big church,
the other site the beautiful townhall,
This building was the trading point in the 18th century. People could approach it through the canal using their boats and to trade goods through the wide open windows on the lower floor. Today this place is a 3-floors restaurant. If you happen to go there, there is one thing you should remember: the lower the floor the cheaper the meal!
Meisjeshuis means Girls' House, this was the purpose of this building in 18th century. City of Delft suffered of many epidemics and a lot of children were orphaned. This building served as a home for orphaned girls.
