Centraal Museum Utrecht receives €2 million for restructuring of the museum.
Mercis BV is donating €1 million to Centraal Museum for the restructuring of the Miffy museum.
And – in the run up to its annual Goed Geld Gala (charity gala) – the BankGrio Lottery also surprised the museum management with a cheque for €1 million for the same purpose.
Since its opening in 2016, the museum has surpassed all expectations. The donations will mean that the existing museum building will be expanded by 500 square metres. There will be more exhibition space, a larger cloakroom and facility to park buggies, plus visitor signposting will be improved.
“The Miffy museum is very successful, it is often filled to capacity,” said md Marco Grob. “That’s why we are so pleased that Mercis BV and the BankGiro Loterij have chosen to support us once again, so that we can expand the museum.
“The restructure will enable us accommodate even more visitors, as well as provide a Miffy theatre space and on-site restaurant.”
