De Pont

De Pont is a contemporary art museum housed in a former wool spinning factory in Tilburg. The buildings feature exhibition spaces with natural light from a distinctive sawtooth roof and multiple rooms of varying sizes.

The museum was established following attorney Jan de Pont's death in 1987, when he left his estate to support contemporary visual arts. The industrial buildings were later renovated and converted into a modern art museum.

The museum displays rotating works by contemporary artists from various countries throughout its spaces. Visitors encounter paintings, sculptures, installations, and films that present different artistic expressions side by side.

The museum is open on weekdays and weekends, with exhibition spaces distributed across multiple levels and accessible by elevators. Clear signage helps visitors navigate through the various display areas.

Some rooms were originally wool storage areas and retain their original dimensions while now serving as exhibition spaces. This unusual architecture creates an unexpected contrast between industrial past and contemporary art display.
