P	Pearl Xia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very surprising museum with a lot of exhibits. Especially the schatkamer, very attractive.
A	Amal John B Thekkath on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A nice place to see the history of Christianity in Netherlands. Interesting artifacts displayed. The treasury part is really worth a visit. Free for Museum card houlders
A	Agris Hartmanis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic exposition about wonders, from Egyptian artifacts to David Bowie, lots of arts from 15-17 century, well made exhibition! Loved the modern art part and how it played with the historical art!
M	Michael Arbuck on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting museum! Interesting artifacts, relics, paintings and religious items. Regardless of your religious inclinations, this is a worthwhile stop. The permanent exhibits are only described in Dutch, but the rotating exhibit (‘Relics’ - when I attended) had great descriptions in English.
D	Dale Hullegien on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are into medieval art and Christian artifacts this is the place to be. It has a nice permanent collection spanning from soms Rembrandt works to some very early Christian era statues. The fact that they have a permanent collection also means that there isn't that much variation a second time around if you would decide to visit it again in the near future. I think the treasure chamber was my favorite of the collection.
A	Achraf Yassine Ourraoui on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I Basically paid 17 euros for a permanent exhibition presented in Dutch (only very few english, unlike what the lady at the entrante said) The collection is not worth it at all Would not recommand if not dutch native
A	Abraam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a beautiful medium sized museum. Usually it will take 2-3 hours if you go into details a bit. It nicely illustrates the Christianity in Netherlands. Unfortunately ALL the labels are in Dutch without English translation! There is an English audio headset that you can borrow from the front desk but it only has very few items in English and does not include all the labels. Regardless, you can still enjoy the collection. I was there at the time of a temporary exhibition about Maarten Luther, there was no audio translation but a text book to follow the description, which was helpful.
B	Bono de Visser on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There were some cool pieces here. I was especially surprised by the treasure room and amount of old paintings. Was not a big fan of the more modern installations though. The building is beautiful but it's too bad you can't see too much of it when you're walking around. If you're in the vicinity i would recommend visiting it, but not going out of your way.
