Rabobank and Centraal Museum Join Forces

Rabobank will fund Centraal Laat for three years.

25 Nov 2025

Rabobank Utrecht and the surrounding area and the Centraal Museum are entering into a three-year partnership to support the Centraal Laat programme. Through this partnership, both organisations aim to inspire young people aged 18 to 30 to engage with art and culture and visit the museum.

Centraal Laat is an innovative evening programme by Centraal Museum, specially developed to reach a younger audience. Through interactive panel talks, creative workshops and inspiring performances, young people are invited to experience the museum in a contemporary way. Working with local partners, the museum creates a surprising programme that presents it from a fresh perspective. Thanks to Rabobank’s support, the museum will be able to continue offering this programme for the next three years.

“We are incredibly pleased with Rabobank’s commitment. Together, we can build a bridge to a new generation of museum visitors and contribute to a vibrant cultural future for Utrecht.”

Marco Grob, Managing Director at the Centraal Museum.

“At Rabobank, we believe in the power of culture to connect and inspire people. By supporting Centraal Laat, we are investing in the development of young people in Utrecht and contributing to an inclusive and creative city.”

Hans Benard, Director of Rabobank Utrecht and surrounding areas.

Through this partnership, Rabobank and the Centraal Museum underscore their shared ambition to make culture accessible to everyone and strengthen cultural life in Utrecht.
