All Eindhoven women in discussion

Bibliotheek Eindhoven invites "All women in Eindhoven" to meet and engage in discussion. Whilst enjoying a cup of coffee or tea we will be talking to each other based on the Jump Movement Method. In 7 steps we bring women, in pairs, towards a goal, decision or ambition. Jump Movement is surprisingly fun, simple and efficient.

“Alle vrouwen in Eindhoven” is created by Women Inc, Jump Movement, CLO and Eindhoven Library. The platform connects women through discussions about relevant social themes in which we empower women, have fun and work together.

Entrance is free, it is not necessary to register
Friday 24th July from 10.00 - 12.00

Donation (schenking)

Artist Paul Panhuysen made this model of his street, the Wilgenroosstraat. In the seventies he researched how visual arts could help solve problems in a street. With the participation of residents, he made a design for more than the standard ‘pavement, parking lanes and roadway’. Unfortunately, the plan was never implemented. 

Thank you Liberation 040

Donation (Schenking)

The latest asset to Eindhoven Museum is a bottle from lemonade factory A. van den Bemd. It probably dates from the first half of the thirties. In 1929, A. van den Bemd owned a beer bottling company and a mineral water factory (lemonade factory) at the Hoogstraat 252 in Eindhoven in Gestel, he also was an agent for the Amstel beer brewery. In 1934 the factory moved to the Laagstraat.

In the month October, Checkpoint Eindhoven and the life size Memory game will be at Catharinaplein across the entrance of the Heuvel. Checkpoint Charlie displays portraits of Eindhoven citizens in their current occupation and the occupation they would have if Eindhoven was never liberated and we still would have been occupied. What occupation would they have? Would they still have been a rapper, artist or entrepreneur, or would they have been working in the army, working in a factory or be jobless?

Brabantse Erfgoedprijs 2019

Museum door de Stad is one of the eight nominees for the ‘Brabantse Erfgoedprijs 2019’ by Erfgoed Brabant. Out of 56 submissions, the professional jury selected eight initiatives who have a chance of winning the prize, the winner will be announced on November 7.

Tablecloth from 1905

Eindhoven Museum recently received a special tablecloth. The rug was made in honour of the engagement party on March 12 1905, of the double engagement of both the eldest son and eldest daughter in the Keunen-Leen family. The table cloth had 80 embroidered signatures by the people that were present. These were mainly people from the Eindhoven elite at the beginning of the twentieth century, such as Eindhoven manufacturer families. The linen cloth is professionally embroidered, possibly by religious who at that time often provided linen with monograms. A beautiful piece of Eindhoven history!

The collection is online again

The Eindhoven Museum collection is online again. Of course, the collection can also be seen in Museum door de Stad (May 19-24^that Strijp-S during Dutch Technology Week), but now also 24/7 on the website again.
