De Pont: contemporary art in a wool-spinning mill

De Pont in Tilburg presents contemporary art in a former wool-spinning mill. Large halls, smaller wool storage rooms (wolhokken) and corridors offer varied settings for looking at art.

Plan your visit ↗

Seeing space and work together

Start in a large hall and see how a work relates to the space. Then move closer, as far as that is permitted. The shift between overview and detail can change your attention without you having to pin down a meaning straight away.

Into a smaller room

The wool storage rooms give the visit a different rhythm. Compare the way you look there with the way you look in the hall. What do you notice about distance, light and the time you spend with a work? Give yourself room to stay with a single work.

Following the current programme

The exhibitions change. Reopening after an exhibition changeover has been announced from 20 September 2026; check which displays are open on the day of your visit. A break in the café or the garden can interrupt the visit before you carry on looking.

Before you go

Check the current programme. Thursday has late opening; Monday is normally closed, with separate arrangements for public holidays.
