Helmond Museum Collection

Helmond Museum has three special collections: Urban History, Man and Work, and Modern and Contemporary Art. Browse the online collection on this site and search for works of art, photographs, objects, artists, and photographers.

Urban History

The masterpieces in the Urban History collection can be admired as part of the castle story in the castle cellars and on the first floor of Helmond Castle. The objects collected by the museum are connected to the story of Helmond and the history of the castle, its residents, and its users. The Urban History collection also includes works of art made by Helmond artists. The collection boasts more than 5,000 objects, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photos, books, magazines, and archaeological objects. It is the largest and most versatile history collection in Helmond. The objects date from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. Some of the most noteworthy and unique pieces include the archaeological objects from the Middle Ages.

Modern and Contemporary Art

Helmond Museum collects international contemporary art from 1960 to the present. The collection policy was guided by visual art inspired by popular culture like the media, comics, television, film, fashion, advertising, games, street culture, and post-industrial (urban) society. The collection includes more than 600 works of art in all disciplines by some 200 artists such as Lucassen, Combas, Daniëls, Van Lamsweerde, Gursky, Goicolea, DiCorcia, Lux, Opie, Kroner, and Van der Sterren.

People and Work

Helmond’s industrial past inspired this collection of international art with the theme People and Work. These artworks, most of which date from the nineteenth century to present day, feature striking scenes of unemployment, social conflict, worker leisure, working conditions, political satire cartoons, and cityscapes or landscapes. The collection consists of paintings, photographs, drawings, graphs, statues, silver, posters, book and magazine illustrations, and stained-glass windows. It comprises roughly 1,500 works of art by well-known Dutch, European, and American artists who chose to depict this topic.
