FAQ
Stadsmuseum Tilburg is one of the museums in the municipality of Tilburg. It focuses on the heritage of Tilburg, Berkel-Enschot, Udenhout and Biezenmortel.
Museum without a building
The museum has no traditional museum building to visit. Our collections are stored in a museum depot. We organize activities at constantly changing places in the city with various heritage partners. A permanent place is the TijdLab (TimeLab) in the LocHal where we work closely with the LocHal Library. There we offer programs of a duration of three to four months, covering a variety of subjects. Parts of the collection are shown there and can be seen for free during opening hours of the LocHal Library.
The collection is divided into the Tilburg City Collection, the photos of Caribbean Heritage, originating from the Brothers CMM of Tilburg and the historical collection of Uitgeverij Zwijsen BV. We also manage the website Geheugen van Tilburg with more than 4400 stories about the municipality of Tilburg. A number of objects can be viewed on various locations in the city.
Stadsmuseum Tilburg is building a continuous learning curriculum for heritage education. For primary and secondary education, we offer various educational lessons, often tailor-made.
