Exhibitions
During the Museum Week, you have a chance to be one of the first to visit the new Trade Markings exhibition by Frontiers Imaginaries that opened on 7 April 2018. The worldwide trade relations of Eindhoven and Noord-Brabant over the past 600 years have inspired the exhibition Trade Markings. The exhibition looks at the age-old strategies of supply and demand, the opacity of property and the transparency of exchange. In this edition, various national and international artists present new and/or existing works.
Furthermore, you can enjoy our collection in the exhibitions The Making of Modern Art and The Way Beyond Art and you can visit our exhibitions Who Owns the Street?, As in a Beginning by Tony Chakar, and After Laughter by Michele Matyn.
