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.

On Thursday 5th December the director of the Eindhoven Museum, Ward Rennen, spoke on Radio 1’s Nieuws en Co from 13.32-13,37 about the plans for the expansion of the museum in the Genneper Parks using the Brainport Regional Deal: https://www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws-en-co/uitzendingen/640284-2019-12-05.
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.
On December 5 Ward Rennen, director Eindhoven Museum, could be heard at Nieuws and Co on Radio 1 between 1:32 – 1:37 about the expansion plans of the museum in the Genneper Parken with help of the Brainport Regio Deal: https://www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws-en-co/uitzendingen/640284-2019-12-05.
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.
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.
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!
