nijntje museum: discovering for yourself at toddler and pre-schooler scale

At the nijntje museum in Utrecht, young children discover the world of Dick Bruna’s nijntje (Miffy). The themed rooms focus on playing and exploring with familiar subjects.

Plan your visit ↗

At their own pace

A house, traffic and a museum are examples of the settings in which children can look around. Follow their attention rather than a fixed list of rooms. The fun lies precisely in repeating, trying things out and recognising something for themselves.

Joining in together

For accompanying adults, the visit is an opportunity to watch along and ask short questions. What does a child see, what do they want to try? The concept is aimed at young children; with a mixed group, bear in mind different interests.

A time slot in advance

Tickets are booked online with a time slot; no individual tickets are available at the ticket desk. Holders of a Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) or other pass must also book. Ordinary Mondays remain closed, with separately listed exceptions for Easter Monday and Whit Monday.

Before you go

Book online for the whole group, even with an admission pass, and check the public holiday exceptions.
