Piet Blom Museum: living as a design brief

The Piet Blom Museum is in the Kasbah in Hengelo. It covers the work of an architect who connected buildings with living together; visits are by appointment.

Plan your visit ↗

A design to live in

The exhibition names the Kasbah and the cube houses as parts of Blom’s oeuvre. Start with an ordinary question about living: where do residents meet, how do you reach your home and what space do you share? That makes architecture concrete.

Museum and surroundings

Its location in the Kasbah offers a chance to link the museum’s explanations to a building. Ask which walk or guided tour is possible. Visiting an exhibition does not automatically give access to homes or private spaces.

Looking without jargon

You do not need to know an architectural movement to recognise proportions, routes and open spaces. Compare what you see in the display with your own experience as a resident or walker. Then let the explanation help you understand the design choices more precisely.

Before you go

Visits by appointment only, except on separately announced open days. A past Heritage Day (Monumentendag) is not a current schedule.
