    Great place for a rainy day! AND IT’s FREE entry!!! Lovely staff, interesting historical building. We visited during the Utrecht On Film exhibition > SUPER interesting to see the historical footage of Utrecht, (especially if you know the city). Will go back soon to see the permanent exhibition.

    This is a good activity for bad weather. It’s a good place to learn about how utrecht came to be the place it now is

    Very interesting cultural centre at an unbeatable price compared to the museums around. You’ll be able to learn quite a lot about Utrecht and there are many interactive activities. The only drawback is that some recordings are only available in Dutch, but I’d quite recommend a visit especially on days with bad weather. Lovely staff on another hand.

    Better than expected. We were impressed by the way the information is presented about the history of Utrecht in this museum: so many interactive and digitalised activities. You can literally play around and learn interesting stuff about the city over there. Definitely recommend!

    'Utrecht on Film 1920-1980' is a very nice exhibition and absolutely worth seeing. Especially if you know the city it is great (and sometimes shocking) to see how it looked so many years ago. Utrecht is well documented by its citizens over the years. Some of them have been really creative too, making mini featurettes on 8mm. The Utrecht Archive is located in the remains of the former Abbey of St. Paul (Paulusabdij) which was founded around 1050. The museumshop has a good selection of books and postcards. Very friendly staff is helpful and happy to tell you all that you want to know.

    I loved it even though it was all in Dutch, no english translations but the set up was different, felt like your exploring rather then being in a museum

  • 5/5 Alison K. 5 years ago on Google
    Brilliant museum - a lot more fun than you might expect of an archive. I particularly enjoyed the divorce booth and the coach ride.

    Great little museum. Cozy atmosphere and they change exhibits regularly. Also very cheap and in a perfect location
