Centraal Museum
The oldest municipal museum in the Netherlands, founded in 1838, with Utrecht Caravaggisti paintings, De Stijl furniture and works by Dick Bruna.
The Centraal Museum sits in a former monastery in the south of the old town and is the oldest municipal museum in the Netherlands. Its collection includes paintings by the Utrecht Caravaggisti, led by Hendrick ter Brugghen; the world's largest collection of Rietveld furniture; a Viking-era wooden boat some 1,100 years old; and fashion and contemporary art. The museum also has a reconstruction of Dick Bruna's studio. It is closed on Mondays. Admission is about a dozen or so euros, and a combined ticket with the Rietveld Schröder House is available. The Miffy Museum is right across the road.
