10 Things to do in Lange Nieuwstraat That You Shouldn't Miss
This ancient and historic city houses many buildings going back to the early Middle Ages. Until it was overtaken by Amsterdam in the Dutch Golden age, Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands. It was and still is the See of the Archbishop of Utrecht, the most important Catholic leader in the Netherlands. The University of Utrecht is the largest in the Netherlands. One of the unique features of the city is the wharf system in its inner canals. Before the city was fully canalized, parts of the Rhine River flowed through the city center. Most prominent of the historic buildings is the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Martin, the construction of which lasted for almost 200 year, beginning in 1254.

The museum is really interesting. Rich collection of paintings of reformist Christian artists reflecting the essence of the break with tradition of Catholic Church. Authentic spiritual pictures, treasuries and statues. You begin to understand the ideas behind medieval Dutch artifacts and their meaning to Peale of the times.

From the world’s largest Rietveld collection to Dick Bruna. From the Utrecht Caravaggists to Pyke Koch and Marlene Dumas. From fabulous fashion and a wondrous seventeenth century doll’s house to a famous, centuries-old ship. A visit to the Netherlands’ oldest civic museum is a unique experience and guaranteed to inspire.

Museum was very local, and focuses on local artists such as Rietveld. Also has a good balance of all Dutch Artists. Exhibits were very well designed and thought out. We had lunch in the Cafe before entering the museum (very good), and coffee and dessert after our museum visit.

Really excellent place with a very nice athmos. The children loved it. I went there with my two daughters. The elder (3 years old) liked all the interactive elements, while the younger (1 year) was really happy about all the cheerful colors and figures in the museum.
