About Centraal Museum
Founded in 1838, the Centraal Museum is the oldest city museum in the Netherlands and houses a diverse collection ranging from Old Masters to modern and contemporary art, as well as design and fashion. The building is a former medieval monastery that has also served as an orphanage, a military stable, and a psychiatric hospital over the course of its history. Following a renovation by international architects in 1999, the site now shines in new splendor. In addition to the main exhibition, you can visit the nijntje museum (Miffy museum) across the street, which is dedicated to the illustrator Dick Bruna, as well as the Rietveld Schröder House, located elsewhere in the city, which is also part of the museum group.

The main museum of Utrecht, the Centraal Museum, owns the Rietveld Schröder House, and a reasonably sized collection of De Stijl works, mostly by Van Doesburg and Rietveld. Until the end of 2019, the Van Baaren collection is on display, which consists of many works from the first half of the twentieth century, mostly works by Rietveld.
