Built in 1627, the Kruithuis was originally intended as a storehouse for gunpowder and weapons. Its strategic location on the edge of the city made it an important part of the Bossche defence line. With its thick walls, small windows and turrets, the building still exudes the atmosphere of a time when the city was wary of sieges. Today, however, the Kruithuis is a peaceful place - where the focus is no longer gunpowder, but art and creativity. The rugged, historical spaces provide an impressive backdrop for changing exhibitions of fine art, photography, design and installations.
A visit to The Kruithuis is a special combination of culture and history. There are changing exhibitions of contemporary artists, highlighting both local talents and international creators. There are also workshops, lectures and educational programmes that connect young and old with art and heritage. With an interactive tour, you will learn more about the building and the meaning of the artworks on display. This combination of raw, authentic spaces with the often modern and surprising art makes each exhibition a unique experience.
Museum Het Kruithuis is a place where you not only look, but also feel - the power of history, the impact of art, and the connection between them. Anyone looking for a cultural experience off the beaten track will find a hidden gem in this centuries-old building that invites you to look with new eyes.
