Interesting place: definitely worth a visit when you are in Utrecht (with free entrance). The carriage downstairs with an audiovisual presentation about the different times and specifically during the time of the Peace of Utrecht is a must.
Website with a lot of knowledge and information about Utrecht history and research on ancestors.
Nice exhibition about the railways in the city of Utrecht.
Old review: Very nice and informative set up. In my opinion, it could sometimes become bigger / more spacious.
New review: Everything is bigger and more spacious
Fantastic made fun informative film about what is an archive?
Utregters, but also non-Utrechters, will enjoy all the (moving) images to be viewed and heard. Also very nice for older children. Very reasonable entrance fee, children up to 12 years old can join for free. Friendly and helpful employees. Recommended!
Interestingly, it was about the rail and work tracks in and the rest of the Netherlands
Beautiful building. Many nice old movies about Utrecht. Nice performance seen in the auditorium.
'Utrecht Spoorstad' / 'Winter 1963' very nice exhibition. 'A trip down memory lane'. Happy days
Great place for a rainy day!
AND IT s FREE entry!!!
Lovely staff, interesting historical building.
We visited during the Utrecht On Film exhibition > SUPER interesting to see the historical footage of Utrecht, (especially if you know the city).
Will go back soon to see the permanent exhibition.
I loved it even though it was all in Dutch, no english translations but the set up was different, felt like your exploring rather then being in a museum
You will be helped well and there is also fun to do, such as the exhibitions and crafts for the kids
Nice new exhibition: Utrecht starts here.
Very nice also nice for young children.
Put in a modern jacket, but educational.
Definitely worth a visit.
Beautiful exhibition about Utrecht. The introduction animation is very cleverly put together! Much praise
Brilliant museum - a lot more fun than you might expect of an archive. I particularly enjoyed the divorce booth and the coach ride.
Nice temporary exhibition about posters of Jaarbeurs the past 100 years. Clear, approximately 45 minutes. With the possibility for children to make their own poster in the style of that time.
Carefully constructed and historically interesting exhibition.
Nice place to learn something about the history of Utrecht. Keep your sweet for two hours.
Only the animation that you see at the entrance is more than worth the entrance (2.50pp). Beautifully put together. If you then continue, you will pass a nice piece of interactive history of, among other things, the origin of Utrecht, the beautiful and less beautiful sides of history and you can cycle through the city. Finally, downstairs is a beautiful exhibition that really takes you into the disaster year of 1672. Really worth a visit!
Nice but small museum. Free coffee included in the ticket.
The Utrechts Archief location Hamburgerstraat is worth a visit if you want to know more about the history of the city and province. The building is housed in the old court and close to the most beautiful square in the Netherlands: the Domplein. You can sniff history here.
Interesting building built over a monastery. Exhibition posters and a great ride with the diligence. Nice man behind the counter. Nothing else viewed.
Nice small overview of exhibitions in the basement of the old courthouse
Nice place with a lot of information. You can wander around for hours.
Very nice all those historical photos, pure nostalgia
Beautiful location with beautiful new exhibition about Utrecht! Nice employees.
Very nice if you want to know everything about the history of the Utrecht railways and the start of it. We were a week early. Now there is an exhibition about the history of Utrecht.
With an archive you quickly think of dusty shelves and long, packed shelves. None of that at Het Utrechts Archief, which uses a state-of-the-art technology to create a presentation that is allowed. The Utrechts Archief holds changing exhibitions in the rooms that are often left over from the former St Paul's Abbey, where you can still find walls in monastery jokes and pointed arch windows. Of course there is a study room upstairs where you can search digitally in the archives. More than worth a visit.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover so much about Utrecht here, in an educational way!
'Utrecht on Film 1920-1980' is a very nice exhibition and absolutely worth seeing. Especially if you know the city it is great (and sometimes shocking) to see how it looked so many years ago. Utrecht is well documented by its citizens over the years. Some of them have been really creative too, making mini featurettes on 8mm.
The Utrecht Archive is located in the remains of the former Abbey of St. Paul (Paulusabdij) which was founded around 1050. The museumshop has a good selection of books and postcards. Very friendly staff is helpful and happy to tell you all that you want to know.
Very interesting information for when you live in Utrecht
They are currently renovating, a number of halls have been closed.
Went to see an photograph exhibition of utrecht city life of the first half of the 20th century. Amazing!
Super awesome! Lots of history of Utrecht and of course transport by coach or train. Case law how things went years ago. Lots to do.
This is a good activity for bad weather. It s a good place to learn about how utrecht came to be the place it now is
Interesting and fun 'do you remember' exhibitions about Utrecht
Once again I visited the Utrecht archive for the exhibition "utrecht starts here". This was very nice and interesting. Once again enjoyed.
Super fun exhibition about the origin of the city! Should be mandatory for every Utrecht resident.
Quite high admission fee, but apart from that, certainly nice if you like teams through history!
Very nice exhibition now with all those old films about Utrecht
Little to see. Some videos and photos. Nothing extra above what you can see online.
Utrecht has its online archives in order. There is a lot available so you can find a lot. Nice people through customer service. The site could be a bit more user-friendly but that's all.
Interactive exhibition. I recommend it. Free admission so interesting if you do not want to linger too long. Nice building and cafe nearby.
Nice archive especially the black and white photos from that time, nevertheless bring back memories.
Only visited the cafe and was not impressed. Waited 20 minutes for a cold cup of coffee. Will not be coming back again.
Small exhibitions but nice exhibitions, free entrance. Nice interactive elements. Such as in a virtual carriage ride, the possibility to choose and watch track films, etc.
History is brought to life here! You are automatically sucked into life, the way of thinking and the themes of that time. Because the court was located here you will find information about the Dutch legal system of that time. There are also changing extra exhibitions. Recommended!
Nice exhibition about Utrecht and there is a lot to be found in the field of history.
