There’s no better place to visit in Utrecht for medieval religious art than the St. Catherine’s Convent Museum. At this museum, visitors can sink deep into a captivating and rich story of Netherland’s Christian history and current state. Although the Netherlands is a Protestant country, the St. Catherine’s Convent Museum features both Protestant and Catholic art as well as religious relics. Some of the gorgeous pieces to see include altarpieces, magnificently illustrated manuscripts, book-bindings set with precious stones, ecclesiastical objects of gold and silver, as well as clothing. Aside from the objects on display, the museum gives visitors insight into the impact that religion has had on Dutch society.
