Dick Bruna House - for kids and grown-ups

Dick Bruna, one of the Netherlands’ most popular authors of children’s books now has an entire museum dedicated to his work: the Dick Bruna House in Utrecht which opened its doors last month.

Bruna is the creator of such world-famous characters as Miffy the Rabbit, Poppy Pig, Snuffy the Dog and Boris Bear. Their stories have been translated into 45 languages and have sold some 85 million copies worldwide.

Since the opening in February, tens of thousands of people have visited the new branch of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht - opposite the main building - devoted to the work of Dick Bruna (1927).

The artist feels tremendously honoured and proud. “It is like a dream come true. And to have this during my lifetime! With most artists, this only happens after they’re long dead.”
