Centraal Museum, Historical art museum in Utrecht, Netherlands

The Centraal Museum contains over 50,000 objects spanning art, fashion, design, and city history across multiple exhibition spaces in a medieval monastery building.

Founded in 1838 on the top floor of Utrecht town hall, the museum relocated to its current location in a former medieval monastery at Nicolaaskerkhof in 1921.

The museum holds the largest collection worldwide of Northern Mannerist Joachim Wtewael paintings and significant works by Utrecht Caravaggisti painters from the 17th century.

Located at Agnietenstraat 1, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon reservation.

The museum preserves a thousand-year-old ship discovered in 1930 near Van Hoornekade, representing one of the oldest maritime artifacts found in the Netherlands.
