Mission and vision
To discover, preserve and enrich the world of Breda – this is the mission of Stedelijk Museum Breda.
In specifically referring to ‘the world of Breda’, we wish to highlight the fact that Breda is more than just a town, with a mayor, residents and municipal boundaries. It also has close ties with the Baronie (the west Noord-Brabant region), Noord-Brabant province and Flanders. Breda is a collection of stories, big and small, a tradition of art and cultures, and a lively network of artists and other creatives.
Breda is a world of similarities and differences, from the Nassaus to DJ Tiësto, from the Royal Military Academy to St. Joost School of Art & Design, and from the annual children’s carnival procession to BredaPhoto festival. A diverse world of identification and imagination, constantly changing in order to remain true to itself.
Stedelijk Museum Breda is the ideal starting point to discover this world. A home base for residents and a base camp for visitors. We ensure that the art and heritage of the world of Breda are preserved for future generations, and enriched with ideas and stories from the region around us and the world beyond. All in collaboration with a range of local, national and international partners.
