De Pont is the museum for contemporary art in Tilburg. A monumental old factory houses changing exhibitions by leading artists from all over the world. Modern. Stylish. Progressive.
Tilburg is in the spotlight of the art scene, with a tour of Museum De Pont and an engaging conversation with the museum team.
What makes De Pont unique?
“Museum De Pont succeeds in following contemporary artists from home and abroad over a long period of time in their development and making it visible through solo exhibitions. Not only does this create a close relationship with the artists, but by also constantly acquiring key works from these solo exhibitions, a special collection has grown.”
Waarvoor komen mensen naar De Pont?
