Inkijkmuseum, Window display museum in central Eindhoven, Netherlands.
The Inkijkmuseum is an art gallery in Eindhoven that opens to the street through window displays, allowing visitors to view works any time of day or night. The space features rotating collections with art from diverse international artists.
The museum opened in 2004 within a converted washhouse that belonged to a textile factory operating on the site for decades. This transformation gave the older building a completely new artistic purpose.
The space displays rotating exhibitions from international artists, with works visible through the street-facing windows that become part of the neighborhood's daily visual landscape. Passersby encounter contemporary art as part of their ordinary walks through the area.
The museum is within walking distance of downtown and viewable around the clock since it has no traditional opening hours. The artworks are visible from the street, so visitors can stop by whenever convenient.
The museum operates simultaneously as lodging called Bed & Paintings, where guests sleep in rooms surrounded by extensive art collections. This blend of sleeping and living within artworks is a rare experience in the Netherlands.
