Museum Catharijneconvent, Religious art museum in Utrecht, Netherlands

Museum Catharijneconvent presents medieval art collections in a former convent building, featuring manuscripts, ecclesiastical objects, and Dutch paintings from multiple centuries.

The building originated in the fourteenth century as a shelter for homeless people before becoming a Carmelite convent and later a hospital managed by knights of St John.

The museum exhibits religious artifacts from both Protestant and Catholic traditions, displaying the evolution of Dutch religious heritage through paintings, manuscripts, and ceremonial items.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 11:00 to 17:00, offering audio guides in English for international visitors.

The museum houses the 9th-century chalice of Saint Lebuinus and carved ivories from Lebuïnuskerk in Deventer, representing early medieval Dutch religious craftsmanship.
