As the oldest municipal museum of the Netherlands, the Centraal Museum demonstrates for centuries that Utrecht has been a breeding ground for artistic and cultural talent.

The Centraal Museum possesses the world's largest collection of Rietveld designs and has a permanent exhibition of work by Dick Bruna. Another collection definitely worth seeing is the old masters collection. Among the highlights are works by Saenredam, Van Scorel and the Utrecht Caravaggists, including Ter Brugghen and Van Honthorst. Besides works by these iconic figures from Utrecht, the Centraal Museum provides a historical overview of the past 2000 turbulent years, as well as focusing on contemporary collections of fashion, design and fine arts.
