Breda's Museum, Art and history museum in Breda, Netherlands.
Stedelijk Museum Breda occupies a former barracks building and features four large and five smaller exhibition spaces. These rooms present regional art collections and objects related to the area's cultural heritage.
The museum was founded in 1902 as the Municipal Museum of History and Antiquities, reflecting early 20th century academic interests. Its relocation to the former barracks building in 1998 provided new space and allowed the collection to expand.

The museum has an auditorium area where artist documentaries are screened regularly, plus an on-site café and museum shop. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the various rooms invite exploration.
