Miffy Museum
Nijntje Museum
A children's museum in the hometown of Dick Bruna, creator of Miffy, with more than ten interactive themed rooms designed for children aged 2–6.
Miffy (Nijntje in Dutch) was created in 1955 by Utrecht illustrator Dick Bruna and is the Netherlands' best-known picture-book character. The Miffy Museum sits opposite the Centraal Museum and is arranged into themed rooms based on scenes from the books, including Miffy's house, the zoo, the garden and transport. Children can play, dress up and listen to stories, while adults can see Bruna's original artwork. It is mainly aimed at children aged 2–6, so adults visiting alone may find less to enjoy. Timed-entry tickets must be booked on the official website. The museum is closed on Mondays and has a gift shop and a children's café.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10 am–5 pm (check the official website)
