From the iconic Dom Tower to the beautiful wharves and from heroine Trijn van Leemput to the first Lowlands festival: in the Expo of The Utrecht Archives you will find the highlights of 2000 years of Utrecht history!

Your visit to Utrecht starts with a visit to The Utrecht Archives! Utrecht has a centuries-old history full of unique moments and stories. In our Expo, the archives come to life and historical figures take you on a journey through the past. Witness how Utrecht developed from a Roman army camp to a modern city, discover the religious and spiritual side of Utrecht, see how the canals and wharfs were created, how the first traffic jam came about and how the city's students used to fare.
