Utrecht begins here
At the location on Hamburgerstraat, you will find the permanent exhibition 'Utrecht Begins Here'. In four exhibition rooms, you get to know Utrecht's history in a fun way: from the wharf cellars to the Dom Tower and from the first bike path to the largest railway station in the Netherlands.
3D animation
Do archives sound rather 'boring and stuffy' to you? Quite the opposite! During a surprising 3D animation, well-known people from Utrecht history will take you through the function and history of the archive.
Temporary exhibitions
Check the website of the Utrecht Archive for the current offer. The exhibitions are suitable for young and old.
