Checkpoint Eindhoven

The whole of September, Checkpoint Eindhoven will be on the Stationsplein. The installation by Aart van Asseldonk shows portraits by Britt Roelse of Eindhoven citizens in their current occupation and their occupation that they would have if Eindhoven was never liberated. The installations also include the Dilemma-machine by Jelle Mastenbroek and Daniël de Bruin: Do you push your boundaries when your freedom is at stake?

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!

Museum at the Airport

Museum door de Stad was at Eindhoven Airport with installations for the theme Past, present and future of our transportation. Did you know that Eindhoven Airport was built in the early thirties as a job creator project?

Eindhoven Airport

Museum door de Stad travels through to Eindhoven Airport. The installations of Team TU/e Eindhoven and Mies Loogman will be standing from June 13 until June 16 (from 08:30 to 17:30) in the arrival hall of the airport. Who are you going to pick up? Photo’s: Max Kneefel

Museum door de Stad at Strijp-S

The new installations for Museum door de Stad’s new theme – Past, present and future of our transportation – were displayed at Strijp-S for the first time on May 19 during the FeelGood Market. The travelling museum will be at Strijp-S until the 23rd of May as a part of Dutch Technology Week. Photo’s: Barbara Medo

MobiliTU/e

With Bike to the Future, see past and present vehicles passing by, such as the towboat over the Eindhoven canal and the self-driving bus Phileas. Have you ever lived somewhere else, or have you been living in Eindhoven your whole life? Show in Map your Journey what your journey to Eindhoven looked like. Team TU/e also wonders how you got here. Turn the wheels of The Wheel of Transport and let them know. Photo’s: Barbara Medo

Drive-in with Natlab

Museum door de Stad organises together with Natlab Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of May from 20:30 until 22:00 a drive-in on Ketelhuisplein as a reference to the current theme: Past, present and future of our transportation. You can use the folding chairs on the square, but you are also invited to take your bike, moped or scooter to the outdoor cinema! The three short films are shown several times in an evening. Catering is provided by Het Ketelhuis.

MOBILITY & FUTURE

Technology and innovation are inseparably linked to Eindhoven. The installation of Dropstuff.nl is all about the definition of technology for the self-driving car. Bumper Ballet is initially a bumper car attraction you are used to at the fair, until the moment that the computer takes over! The tiny bumper cars exist out of four bumper cars and a video of ‘Dancing DAF-jes’, a unique advertisement by DAF from 1974.

MOBILITY & DILEMMAS

In the Dilemma-machine of Jelle Mastenbroek and Daniël de Bruin you can choose out of several transportation methods from the past century. In 1888, the horse tram arrived in Eindhoven and ten years later the steam tram came. In 1907 the horse tram disappeared again but the steam tram kept going until 1935. Goods would also be transported by tram. Loading and unloading were required at each stop, therefor the ride took a long time. In 1920 the bus was taken into use, this was faster and more comfortable.

MOBILITY & TRANSPORTATION

MobiliTU/e is an interactive and educational installation that consists of four parts. Team TU/e takes you on a journey through time through different events surrounding transportation in Eindhoven. For example vehicles from the past and present that pass by, such as the towboat over the Eindhoven canal and the self-driving bus Phileas. An E-chip (anonymously) saves the choices you make for different subjects, which are then processed into a souvenir to take home.

MOBILITY & INNOVATIONS

Eindhoven has become the city of design, technology and innovation thanks to companies such as Philips and DAF. These companies play a huge role in the development of the city. Today, High Tech Campus is the origin of many innovations. Teamwork is a huge part of the success of ‘the smartest square kilometre in the world’. With the Cooperation Installation of Mies Loogman, you have to work together to play the game and test your knowledge (and gain knowledge) about transport inventions made in Eindhoven.

Win-action

Did you know that Philips developed the electronic bike in 1931? The motor was powered by a battery that you could charge with a rectifier. The rectifier was incidentally the only component made by Philips itself. The bicycle was produced in five different bicycle factories, but eventually, the bike was never put to use.

 

Museum door de Stad

Museum door de Stad travels through the city with installations inspired by the Eindhoven Museum’s cultural-historical collection. You will be able to visit the installation Checkpoint Eindhoven at the Stationsplein to see the theme Past, present and future of our freedom! The new installations by Team TU/e and Mies Loogman can be visited during Liberation 040 on the 18 Septemberplein.

DROPSTUFF.NL makes Bumber Ballet

In collaboration with Eindhoven Museum, DROPSTUFF.NL is creating the surprising installation Bumper Ballet for the new theme Past, present and future of our transportation. Bumper Ballet is a small bumper car track, initially like the attraction you are familiar with at fairs; that is until the moment when the computer takes over from the bumper cars.

Dutch Technology Week

Museum door de Stad will participate in Dutch Technology Week on May 20–24th at Strijp-S. New installations by Mies Loogman and Jelle Mastenbroek & Daniël de Bruin, and also by TU/e and DROPSTUFF.NL will be on display related to the new theme Past, present and future of our transportation.

Rye liqueur tasting

Zoë Jacobs - How do we sit to eat?

It is no surprise anymore that our food effects our bodies growth. What does our current food schedule look like and what does it mean for the size of our body?

ED shares our plans

Eindhovens Dagblad gives director Ward Rennen the stage to tell out plans for Museum door de Stad: “I hope this project shows a better image of how Eindhoven came to be. There has been a lot of talking about the focus point technic, design and knowledge, but only a small hand of people knows where it comes from. That’s what we want to make clear with Museum door de Stad.”

How do you eat your food?

Zoë Jacobs would love to know how you eat! Make a lifelong imprint of yourself or draw your own body outline. Zoë has let herself become inspired by the diversity of chairs from the Eindhoven Museum collection. Photo’s: Max Kneefel

Chloé Rutzerveld - Loerie Lab

Farmers from Eindhoven were very poor, crops had a rough time growing because of the chapped sandy soil of the farmland of Eindhoven, but coffee beans were very expensive. The farmers used to make substitute coffee from burnt peas, old grain or chicory
