Museum·Serene, Modern, Historical
The Museum Voor Religieuze Kunst in Uden offers a rare opportunity to explore religious history within the walls of an active monastery. While a few nuns still reside in a separate wing, visitors can wander through modern and converted spaces showcasing medieval monstrances, sculptures, and rotating contemporary exhibitions like pop art or Chagall. The experience is complemented by a tranquil herbal garden and a highly-regarded cafe known for its Dutch apple pie and high tea. Because space is limited, the museum frequently rotates its collection, ensuring a fresh experience for returning visitors.
