For those of you who love modern art and think that Tilburg has nothing to offer, you are wrong! Tilburg is the home of De Pont Museum of contemporary art. And you can enjoy it for free! Every third Thursday of the month, the museum opens its doors to all of you who are art lovers AND on a budget. You enjoy free admission if you visit the museum from 17:00 to 20:00.
Currently, the museum is exhibiting two collections: The work of the British artist Mark Wallinger and Dutch artist Paul Panhuysen. And when you feel like taking a break, the museum has a little stylish cafe, where you can a grab a bite or a drink at a low price.
The De Pont is located near Wilhelmina Park and first opened its doors in 1992. The building of the museum makes quite an impression thanks to its size and architecture which is due to its previous function as a wool spinning mill. The works of the artists are shown in huge halls, but also in tiny rooms, narrow corridors and secret hiding places.
So, take the chance this Thursday to visit this extraordinary museum and maybe you'll find us there. Because hey, this is free admission Thursday!
