Eindhoven Museum was part of King's Day 2021 celebrations! We introduced the royal family to the Eindhoven Panorama: a life-sized collage of photos, images, drawings and texts from 100 years of Greater Eindhoven. During King's Day, designer Florian de Visser gave a tour of the open-air installation with 100 years of history.
Eindhoven Panorama can also be seen in the city center this July!
Eindhoven Museum has acquired two paintings by the Eindhoven painter Anton Kerssemakers (1846-1924). Kerssemakers received painting lessons from Van Gogh. The museum had never previously owned paintings reflecting the area that is now called Genneper Parks. One canvas from 1899 depicts the Genneper water mill, the other from 1893 is of the Huize Rapelenburg, where the Clarissenklooster stands today.
Eindhoven Museum has been given the original hammers of the clock from the old town hall on the Rechtestraat. The museum previously received the dial of the timepiece together with this model. Since the middle ages the town hall has been situated on the Rechtestraat. In the same location, this neo-gothic building was used as the town hall in 1869. It was not only used as a town hall but also as a police station and a prison. After the annexation the building quickly became too small and in 1930 the municipal officials moved to a new site. In 1967 The building was demolished, much to the sorrow of many Eindhoven residents.
The temporary exhibition Eendracht maakt Macht (Unity is Strength) opens on 9th June in the Philips Museum. This exhibition shows the connection between PSV, Philips and the city of Eindhoven. Eindhoven Museum shows six screens with images of the old town halls. For Tongelre, Gestel, Strijp, Stratum and Woensel the annexation took place in 1920; In these town halls the city councils met to make decisions about their village. Please enquire at the Philips Museum for further details about opening times.

Artist Paul Panhuysen made this model of his own street, de Wilgenroosstraat. In the seventies he researched how visual art can help to alleviate problems in a street. Using input from the residents he made a design for pavements, parking areas and roads which did not fit the usual norm. Unfortunately, the plan was never implemented.
