Centraal Museum

  • April 16, 2025
  • Rated 3 of 5 by honeyb from San Francisco, California

Founded in 1838, the oldest municipal museum in the Netherlands has collections that span the ages, from a well-preserved ship from Viking times that was discovered locally (and required tearing down a wall to move into the basement) to a relatively modern collection of Rietveld zigzag chairs (named for it zigzag z-shaped frame). The museum itself is housed in a former cloister. In a former chapel, a colorful show of swirling light and music plays.

Recently, the museum opened up a building across the street and dedicated it the Dick Bruna house. Here, you'll find everything to do with the white bunny icon.

If you visit, make sure you grab a map of the museum to avoid getting lost or wandering around in circles and missing key exhibitions.
