Museum Catharijneconvent

The Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht is a national Dutch museum of religious art housed in a former convent. Since opening in 1979, it has been home to the collection of the Archbishop of Utrecht, which offers insight into Christian art and culture as well as the history of the Netherlands from the early Middle Ages to the 21st century. Among other things, you can admire works of 16th- and 17th-century Dutch painting by artists such as Jan van Scorel and Pieter Saenredam. The offerings are rounded out by exhibits of more recent art, including works by Jan Toorop, Shinkichi Tajiri, Frans Franciscus, and Marc Mulders.
