5x budgetproof art & culture
Life just gets more and more expensive; inflation, gas prices, etc. We understand that as a student nowadays you don't have much money left for the nice extras, like your necessary dose of culture for example! Here is the guide for budget-proof culture in the beautiful city of Tilburg.
Punch at the Pont
Museum de Pont is a household name in Tilburg. Modern art in an old textile factory, with cool, surprising and changing exhibitions. And we have good news for all poor students: every Thursday evening from 17:00-21:00, admission to de Pont is completely free! Under the name PUNCH, something extra is also organized every third Thursday of the month, such as: lectures or live music. Check the program for the coming time on Instagram!
De krakers
Another gem on Thursday nights. In the basement of De Nieuwe Vorst, the Squatters hosts an event every Thursday. From music to literature and art auctions to live tattoo sessions. Every week a new, surprising and fresh program, and all for a ticket price of only 6 whole euros! Check the website of the New Forest for the whole program, and follow the Squatters on Instagram to stay up to date!
Art on the streets
Besides art in basements, you can also find art on the streets in Tilburg! If you know where to go, you'll find plenty of culture to sniff out in public spaces. How about the most beautiful mural in the world, for example? But also the Sky Mirror by world-renowned artist Anish Kapoor, City Poetry, historical sculptures or the many street art our town has to offer. Check out what's up for grabs here.
Duo days at the Pathé
On the two days before uncle DUO visits you can enjoy a student discount at Pathé cinemas! You only pay €5 to go to the movie. This way you can enjoy yourself even on the leanest days of the month. In Tilburg you will find two Pathé locations; in the center at the Pieter Vreedeplein and at Stappegoor.
