‘An oasis of calm, right in the middle of the city,’ is how one visitor described Karel 1 Museum Café – ‘Just your kind of thing’. The museum café with its adjoining terrace lies to the rear of the museum. Here the River Dommel has been widened to form a unique ‘inner lake’ that is partly surrounded by the museum’s new building. Enjoy the view and absorb your museum experience while you order something tasty from our menu, which offers hot and cold beverages, delicious snacks and light meals. You are guaranteed a warm welcome in the museum café even if you are not on a visit to the museum itself. You can access the café via the vivid-pink covered footbridge, designed for the museum by the Eindhoven-based artist and architect John Körmeling. The bridge provides a direct link between the museum café and the Stratumsedijk.
