Museum Catharijneconvent holds the Netherlands' national collection of Christian art and religious culture, displayed inside the fifteenth-century convent of Saint Catherine on Lange Nieuwstraat. The building itself is part of the experience: a cloister, chapter house and adjoining church give the medieval sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, reliquaries and vestments rooms that were built for objects of this kind. The collection runs from the Middle Ages to the present and shows Catholic and Protestant material together, a deliberate choice in a country shaped by the Reformation and later by secularisation. Paintings include works by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jan van Scorel, Geertgen tot Sint Jans and Pieter Saenredam. The museum opened in its present form in 1979. Temporary exhibitions are its strong suit and often the reason locals return, ranging from single-artist shows to broad cultural themes. The cloister garden offers a quiet pause between the medieval galleries, the darkened manuscript rooms and the painting galleries upstairs.
