Contemporary art

Stedelijk Museum Breda’s contemporary art collection (1960 – present day) consists of some 800 artworks. The artists all have a link to Breda. They were either born here, have studied, lived or worked here (or still do so), or have made work featuring the town and its residents. The pieces highlighted here represent a cross-section in terms of period and type of work.
