Currently there is a great exposition on Paradise and the museum overall provides great atmosphere and nice things to see! Additionally, there is a good café/restaurant where you can have a delicious lunch! Highly recommend to visit if you’re in Utrecht

Probably the most diverse museum in Utrecht. Fantastic displays, very helpful staff, and the building itself is a work of art. Make sure you go check out the stinky 1000 year old boat downstairs.

Good museum in the center of Utrecht. Good combination of classic and modern art.

Small but nice museum with rotating expositions. Available via Netherlands museumkaart.

Central museum is slowly opening up again a bit more, finally. There are 3 exhibits right now, with widely varying topics, so you will probably not like all but definitely some of it. Located in a very beautiful building, with a lot of atmosphere. The shop is also very nice with a lot of local (good) stuff.

Not all of the collection was open- which was a shame. However, the exhibition that chronicles the social history of Utrecht was excellent with a combination of old masters and helpful statistics. Really interesting.

Modern art (mostly media) museum combined with traditional Dutch paintings (interesting in my opinion). Most of the museum is undergoing a renovation, so there is not much to see, but still it is an interesting experience. I was not a big fan of the video installations -- most of them depicted pain in one form or another. However one of them particularly made my trip to this museum worthwhile: the videos shot during the Congo civil war. I was very touched by what I saw, and the display of several screens in various angles of the room added to a different experience of the story. These videos were shout using an oldfashioned camera that was used during the war to exposed camouflaged soldiers, and it inverted green to pink. And so these videos are showing lots of bright pink. They are full of horrors, coffins, kids with guns, a new born being resuscitated, displacement camps in the middle of nowhere full of tents, people, children. It's hard not to be touched by these tragedies... I found myself almost crying after awhile, I had to get out. But what an experience that was! And what a perfect reminder to do your part in the world and to appreciate the heck out of what you have...

Definitely a museum to watch! Each time I visit I am surprised and impressed by their ever growing collection. On this visit I was struck by the thought-provoking exhibit from the Museum of Equality and Difference (MOED). This makes a definite contribution to the debate around race, diversity and inclusion in Dutch society. Worth a visit!

My favorite museum in Utrecht, Netherlands 🇳🇱. I am continually amazed by the Dutch's originality and bravery in mixing the modern with the traditional. If you love the work of Italian maestro Caravaggio, you will notice several important commissions from artists like Gerard van Honthorst and Hendrick ter Brugghen who attended his school. Included in the museum card.

Little gem in the old city. There is a fantastic exhibition going on right now. I would highly recommend checking it out while in Utrecht.

(Translated by Google) Upon entering it seems as if everything is also arranged corona proof here, but nothing could be further from the truth. People are crisscrossing each other, no fixed walking route has been devised and indicated. My advice: go and have a look at the Photo Museum in Rotterdam - what is possible there, I think here too. (Original) Bij binnenkomst lijkt het alsof alles ook hier corona proof geregeld is maar niets is minder waar. Mensen lopen kriskras door elkaar, er is geen vaste looproute bedacht en aangegeven. Mijn advies: ga eens kijken bij het Fotomuseum in Rotterdam - wat daar kan, hier ook lijkt me.

It's a great museum. Only downpoint was that due to partial reconstructions not all areas where open. Check out what's on display before you go to make sure it hits your taste.

beautiful building, a very interesting and diverse set of exhibitions that are very well presented. the staff was welcoming and at the ready to give info, help, etc...a great visit in Utrecht !

A big museum with a wide range of collections and nice interiors. It has a lovely garden and cafe. It’s a good place to get to know Utrecht

Really lovely museum, some interesting works, also good gifts and great cafe serving gorgeous hot chocolate 😊

(Translated by Google) Pros + Beautiful exhibition about Caravaggio + Nice permanent collection + Good purchases (Gods banquet etc) + Friendly staff (Original) Pluspunten + Prachtige tentoonstelling over Caravaggio + Mooie vaste collectie + Goede aankopen (Godenbanket etc) + Vriendelijk personeel

Truly amazing museum. Both an amazing expo about African fashion and some beautiful pieces of art. Finding the way might be quite challenging but still a sight to behold.

Nice museum, a good mixing between classic and modern arts

(Translated by Google) Route is confusing (Original) Route is verwarrend

Nice museum, combination of old art from Utrecht and modern art, is opposite of the Nijntje museum, do for adults, friends family, kids, nice to see, and for the smallest you can visit before or after the Nijntje museum

bought the miffy delft magnet with a japanese flag but it said "1× magneet nijntje met chinese" on the receipt and I think it should be corrected since it can possibly bring some negative impressions and causes misleading.

Beautiful building and really enjoyed the current expo on giving a voice to black designers in fashion. 1 star less because the other floors did not convince as much.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, beautiful exhibitions, I visited 'Moesman, surrealism and the sexes'. Lovely garden, some extra umbrellas would be good. (Original) Fijn museum, mooie exposities, ik bezocht 'Moesman, surrealisme en de seksen'. Heerlijke tuin, wat extra parasols zou goed zijn.

interesting museum. lots of art, but the air circulation at the top floor could be improved. also i think to have more corners where visitors can do activities can improve the place a lot, cause i only found one where we can drew something on the back staircase 😊

Liked a lot the exposition upstairs. Was really nice to experience the Blind spot project!

Lovely museum, very diverse collection, and the building is inspiring. Could have more coherence and clarity on why certain exhibitions are there. Feels a bit too eclectic and disconnected sometimes.

The Caravaggio exhibition is only until March 24th, 2019, so better hurry! Access is by timeslot booked online- at the beginning of the time slot it is very busy, later the crowd dilutes. Even though there are only two original Caravaggio’s and two historical copies, the exhibition is very much worthwhile. Very well framed with all the painters who followed his style, especially from Utrecht. Great pieces on loan from the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum etc.

Museum was almost empty during daytime. Some exhibition rooms were too creepy to enter - no people, no staff, poor lighting. Also, if you are not interested in furniture design, baroque paintings and Miffy just like me, there's not so much left to see. That's the most of what they show in Dutch museums, why I was expecting to see something else hahaha.

Horrible staff and security. Unless you are their ‘typical clientele’ they will not talk to you professionally and follow you around constantly. Lovely exhibitions but couldn’t fully enjoy

Really good & informative museum about the history of Utrecht, could have been more content there

Very interesting exhibitions and nice museum shop.

Part of the museum is under renovation right now, price is cheaper. It doesn’t have too much stuffs to see.

Love the exhibition. Such an interesting diverse ways of making art and looking at life!

My favourite museum I went to in NL. Such a great collection of both local and further afield artists. I loved the museums art project with the small canvases too. I would definitely come back in the future for more exhibits. Great mixture of old and modern art (though mostly modern) 🫶

Nice installations and a good museum. We really enjoyed it. And also the coffee and the sandwiches in the cafeteria were good :)

One of the best museums in the Netherlands, with several nice exhibitions every year, most of them really well curated. The building itself is amazing, it has a beautiful garden and a little restaurant. Charging place for electric vehicles and a nice museum store. Tip, on the last floor you can visit the the permanent exhibition of the studio of Dick Bruna, the creator of nijntje👌🏼

Interesting and not that busy, we where there on a Saturday. Two exhibitions were closed, sadly. But it was a nice experience either way.

I was hoping to spend my Sunday gazing into the works of Marlene Dumas, but instead my day was ruined. There was no clear warning on the website of the Museum, nor was I informed at the tickets office, when I asked for a ticket to see Marlene Dumas. Upon further investigation, you could eventually see that the museum's collection was closed, which I eventually realized, had the works of Marlene Dumas in it. In my opinion this information should be more accessible and more visible for pseudointelectuals like me. I do not have any idea of who curated the current expositions, that were on display at the moment, but I have never seen anything more atrocious in my life. Please hire some people who actually know how to do their job, because this was just embarrassing. I started my museum visit with the chair exhibition. I thought the chairs themselves were lovely, but I did miss a few classics. Although the way, in which the chairs were displayed was just horrible to say the least. It looked as if the space was designed firstly and only then the curators would put the chairs just wherever. Sure I did enjoy the chair-print wallpaper, the metal piping display but I thought it was extremely poorly executed. The first room was OK, the second was bad and the third, fourth and so on was a total abomination - the information about the design of the chairs was clashing so hard with the chair-print wallpaper my head started to hurt, the information about the designs was displayed very stupidly - at the floor of the platform - you could not read it if there was a lot of people around and my neck started hurting at the end of the exposition even though I am only 23. I could not imagine what did it feel like for people my parent's age; the chairs were exhibited very awkwardly, messily, were mushed togheter and were not photogenic at all - some of them were even shown on platforms made out of steel piping more than 3 meters above the ground, which I found very stupid, since not even Dutch people are that tall. Going trough the rooms looked like the coordinators lost their interest in this exhibition more and more and at the end there was another totally random exhibition which had no connection to the previous. Anyways, I thought it was quite embarrassing, it did not feel that the museum treated each chair as a work of art, but rather just wanted to make some money. Going onwards, on the first floor I had witnessed the most horrendous expo I have seen in my life, sincerely. I was wondering, was art in Eastern and Western Europe so different? Do I not know anything about contemporary art? Was it supposed to look that bad? so bad I could not believe that the museum would allow this? But after googling the artist's name, some things started to make sense. Turns out Manon Uphoff is not a visual, but a writer. Not even one painting shows up in the search when firstly googling her name. I have no Idea what she writes about, but I think she should stick to writing and leave the museum space for people who actually deserve it. Lastly, I did find the work of Pauline Curnier Jardin interesting, but I was still baffled by what I had seen previously and could not concentrate. Once again, the information about the work was unreadable in some rooms due to the red lighting. I don't think It's a problem that's hard to fix, but it looks very unprofessional. Thank you for your time please take note of my observations and have a nice day.

A very pleasant museum in the beautiful city Utrecht. Visit Dick Bruna ' s workplace, look at beautiful paintings from Utrecht- born artists. Have a nice cup of coffee or a light meal at the restaurant. And there is an interesting shop.

(Translated by Google) Nice exhibition the walled city. Utrecht (Original) Mooie tentoonstelling de ommuurde stad. Utrecht

(Translated by Google) A pleasant museum with currently a special, temporary exhibition by fashion designer Jan Taminio. See pictures. A fairly small museum in a Utrecht street. With a large museum shop with a collection of Miffy stuff, from cards to bedside lamps. Behind the museum the museum restaurant with coffee, tea, lemonade and delicious pastries. (Original) Een prettig museum met momenteel een bijzondere, tijdelijke tentoonstelling van modeontwerper Jan Taminio. Zie foto's. Een vrij klein museum in een Utrechtse straat. Met een grote museum winkel met ook nog een collectie van Nijntje spulletjes, van kaarten tot bedlampjes. Achter het museum het museumrestaurant met koffie, thee, limonade en heerlijk gebak.

Different art exhibitions inside along with regular gallery. Frankly, not trivial navigation. The main exhibition is good but might not worth to visit others, guite a mix of arts and not covered fully with English.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the exhibition disappointed me a bit. It is a nice building, but the logic to get to the rooms is occasionally unclear. (Original) Helaas viel de expositie mij wat tegen. Het is wel een mooi pand, maar de logica om naar de zalen is af en toe wat onduidelijk.

(Translated by Google) Surprising changing exhibitions and a permanent collection that matters. (Original) Verrassende wisselende exposities en een vaste collectie die er toe doet.

(Translated by Google) So many different things to see here. But the building is also so big, actually a labyrinth. (Original) Zoveel verschillende dingen te zien hier. Maar het gebouw is ook zo groot, nou eigenlijk een labyrinth.

(Translated by Google) medium fun the treasure hunt was very difficult and made clear for small people and after the performance about the city walls the concentration was gone (Original) medium leuk de speurtocht was erg lastig en duidelijk gemaakt voor kleine mensen en na de voorstelling over de stadsmuren was de concentratie weg voor de voorstelling over bedbanken

We enjoyed the special Jugenstijl exhibit as well as the other exhibits and the building complex itself, which was historically religious. The glass café is a relaxing place with abundant natural light and views into the garden.

(Translated by Google) "The Walled City" is a beautifully decorated exhibition. The information may be superficial, but the paintings, especially of the five former city gates, are beautiful and give a beautiful picture as it was. (Original) "De ommuurde stad" is een fraai ingerichte tentoonstelling. De informatie is weliswaar oppervlakkig, maar de schilderijen, met name van de vijf voormalige stadspoorten, zijn fraai en geven een mooi beeld zoals het was.

Astonishing exposition with pieces of art from all over the world over Caravaggio and his followers. Totally worth to pay a visit. The audio guide was great.

Historic building, nice museum cafe, good collection and exhibitions.

Utrecht’s principal fine-arts museum.Famous collection of Dutch caravaggisti paintings, magic realism painter Pyke Koch and an extraordinary costume collection. Pre-modernist and modernist furniture by Gerri Rietveld. Very pleasant restaurant facing green courtyard. Changing exhibitions, both historic and contemporary art.

Such a fine museum. Great exhibitions, nice space to be in. Can't wait for the Caravaggio exhibition starting this december! And take a walk in the garden. There is art there too!

Beautiful exhibition Moesman

a must go in Utrecht! impress building and collections! carefully designed orientations and nice intro flyer and audio guide! just loved it and would visit it again :) and also a nice courtyard coffee, don't miss it~

Its ok museum, good for half hour but not more.

not good for kids. other than that kind of interesting.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Mooi

(Translated by Google) Quite a nice museum but not really my taste. Too much furniture and Miffy. The rooms with lower numbers are more contemporary art. Expensive parking in the area. (Original) Best een aardig museum maar niet echt mijn smaak. Te veel meubels en Nijntje. De zalen met lagere nummers zijn meer hedendaagse kunst. Duur parkeren in de omgeving.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and relaxing to be there. (Original) Zeer leuk en ontspannen om daar te zijn.

(Translated by Google) The exhibition was different from what I expected according to the flyer: only a few old costumes / dresses. Old masters and modern art could be seen mixed up in all rooms. The permanent exhibition was sorted by subject, not chronologically. One wing was not accessible due to a change. We weren't really interested in Miffy, so we were 'through' very quickly. A shame for € 15 p.p. (Original) Die Ausstellung war anders als ich laut Flyer erwartet hatte: nur wenige alte Kostüme/Kleider. In allen Räumen waren alte Meister und moderne Kunst vermischt zu sehen. Die ständige Ausstellung war nach Themen, nicht chronologisch sortiert. Ein Flügel war aufgrund einer Umstellung nicht begehbar. Miffy hat uns nicht wirklich interessiert und so waren wir recht schnell 'durch'. Schade für 15€ p.P.

(Translated by Google) It is a pity that it is only partly open to view at the moment, but it will be fine in due course! (Original) Jammer dat het maar deels te bezichtigen is momenteel, maar komt vast goed t.z.t. !

(Translated by Google) Nice location of the Centraal Museum Utrecht interesting exhibitions that are varied. (Original) Mooie locatie van het Centraal Museum Utrecht interessante exposities die afwisselend zijn.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum you miss the guide (Original) Leuk museum je mist wel de gids

(Translated by Google) Nice museum Friendly staff everything neat and clean including the toilet (Original) Leuk museum Vriendelijk personeel alles netjes en schoon ook de wc

Very nice museum mostly surrounding Utrecht's historic past. Well arranged paintings and artefacts. Could not finish viewing the entire museum in 1.5 hours. Will need to come back another time

The experience could be frustrating because it is difficult to find the exhibition halls in the building. Unclear brochure with floor plan, labirynth of small winding corridors, many interim levels, stairs, elevators that do not bring you to all levels. I ended up missing two halls I was interested in. I was so frustrated, I could not continue searching.

(Translated by Google) Came for "the walled city", it is beautifully designed but misses the relationship of the meaning of the wall for the inhabitants of the city at the time. Very pleasant museum and nice employees. (Original) Kwam voor "de ommuurde stad" , is fraai vorm gegeven maar mis in de uitwerking de relatie van de betekenis van de muur voor de toenmalige inwoners van de stad. Veder prettig museum en aardige medewerkers.

(Translated by Google) There are more exhibitions than I expected, and it will be different every time, but it was okay. However, I was wandering because the movement was too far back and forth. I think the children will prefer the Miffy Museum across the street. (Original) 전시가 생각보다 많고, 때마다 다르겠지만 괜찮았어요. 다만, 동선이 너무 왔다갔다라 헤매였어요. 아이들은 맞은편에 있는 미피박물관을 더 좋아할거 같아요.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with currently the exhibition about the protection of Utrecht through the centuries. Very informative! (Original) Mooi museum met momenteel de expositie over de bescherming van Utrecht door de eeuwen heen. Erg informatief!
