The Cathedral Museum is the continuation of the Treasury of the New Bavo. For now, this new museum space includes a large, attractively furnished exhibition hall, right under the high choir and accessible through the cathedral. In time, expansion will follow in the spaces under the ambulatory and beam chapels. The museum's collection includes special art treasures such as paintings, sculptures, banners and liturgical silverware.

    The KathedraalMuseum in Haarlem, the Netherlands, offers visitors an insightful look into the history and art of the St. Bavo Cathedral. Located in the heart of Haarlem, this small museum houses a collection of religious artifacts, artworks, and historical items related to the cathedral.

    Visitors often appreciate the museum's intimate setting, which allows for a close-up view of the exhibits. The collection includes intricate gold and silver ecclesiastical objects, ancient manuscripts, and paintings that showcase the cathedral's rich heritage. Many reviewers highlight the ornate monstrance and the detailed explanations provided for each item.

    While the museum receives praise for its historical significance and the quality of its exhibits, some visitors note that it may not appeal to everyone. Those with a specific interest in religious history or Dutch church architecture tend to find it more engaging. The museum is relatively small, which some see as a drawback, while others appreciate the focused and manageable experience.

    A common point of feedback is the museum's location within the cathedral complex. Visitors often combine their museum visit with a tour of the cathedral itself, enhancing the overall experience. However, some reviewers mention that the signage could be improved to make navigation easier.

    The staff receives positive mentions for their friendliness, though some visitors note that more extensive information in languages other than Dutch would be helpful for international tourists.

    In summary, the KathedraalMuseum offers a specialized glimpse into the religious and artistic history of Haarlem's St. Bavo Cathedral. While it may not be a major attraction for all tourists, it provides a worthwhile experience for those interested in religious art and local history.
