Museum of the Image, Art collection in Breda, Netherlands
Museum of the Image is an art collection in Breda that focuses on visual media. The exhibitions cover film, photography, design, fashion, video games, science, and architecture, all housed in a former almshouse building.
The building was first documented in 1246 as a shelter for pilgrims and travelers. It gained national heritage status in 1966 because of its architectural importance.
The building displays work from established and emerging designers, with a focus on visual communication and graphic design. Visitors can observe how these fields have evolved over time.
The museum offers a shop, cafe, and auditorium for visitors. Guided tours, workshops, and special activities for children are available throughout the year.
Queen Beatrix attended the official reopening on June 11, 2008. This day marked the transformation of the location from a general cultural center to a museum dedicated to visual design.
