I visited the Centraal Museum Utrecht today. I've been to the Museum before but had never seen the permanent exhibition. The permanent exhibition is large. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see it. I was there to see the 'Disappear' installation on grief, which was simple yet so moving.

Yesterday's 'museum' visit was Landhuis Oud Amelisweerd in Bunnik (a few kilometres from the Utrecht city centre). The house from the 1700s is well preserved and the guides generous with their time and knowledge. We ate great food, bought fresh farm goodies and enjoyed the surrounds.

I also made a stop at the Kruideniers Museum. The museum shows the history of groceries from the old grocer to today's supermarkets. It is cute, free and really well done. I wanted to buy some of the treats they have in the shop but didn't for some reason, so I'll have to go back 😁.

After my visit to the Volksbuurt museum I was curious to learn more about the history of Utrecht. So I visited the Utrecht Archive today. They had an exhibition on how Utrecht has been governed over 650 years. Also, the permanent collection really captures the city and is very interactive.

Today's museum visit was the Rietveld Schröderhuis in Utrecht. An impressive piece of minimalist architecture, designed in 1924. The house was ahead of it's time and stands out from the dark brick homes around it.
Well worth a visit.

Finally visited the Royal Delft Museum today. I learned that it takes 10 years to achieve master painter level and wow it is evident throughout the exhibition. I love how the makers of these handcrafted marvels get their chance to shine.

Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht was today's visit. The two courtyards on the property are beautiful. The temporary exhibition 'In the name of love' was moving in places. The permanent collection was not really my thing, but impressive. Will return to just sit in the courtyard.

My quest to use my Museum Card more continues... with a visit to the Spoorweg (Railway) Museum in Utrecht. I heard a lot of choo choos and delightful squeals and roleplays were aplenty. Trains just bring joy to all ages.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommended!

For those interested in 'automated' musical instruments, Museum Speelklok in Utrecht is worth a visit. It is a three out of five stars. Maybe four stars because they had some 'wind up' doll instruments that are racially sensitive, but instead of shying away from it they noted it and asked for input.
