Centraal Museum, Utrecht Province, The Netherlands

4.0 (406 reviews) Monday: Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #17 in Utrecht Speciality Museums • Art Museums • History Museums

My favorite museum in Utrecht, Netherlands

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.

Go see Caravaggio and his followers before March 24th, 2019!
The Caravaggio special exhibition in the Centraal Museum is more about his European followers, such as Dirk van Baburen and Gerard van Honthorst, than about the master himself. But there are two genuine Caravaggio's on display - Hieronymus, and Medusa (painted on a shield, quite special). Overall quite some paintings nicely arranged following biblical themes. The lighting is not fully optimal in my humble opinion, too much glare on the paintings. But still quite worthwhile. It pays off to arrive at the end of your designated slot, after about 45 minutes the crowds start to dilute.

Interesting
We went for a Caravaggio and “Caravaggisti”. I’ve to admit it was not so bad, even I had bigger expectations. What really hurt was the behavior of some visitors, but does not depends from the museum. Less visitors per time slot could help to fully enjoy the atmosphere
