Stedelijk Museum Almelo: town, textiles and changing perspectives

Today’s Stedelijk Museum tells the story of Almelo through industry, archaeology, art, toys and company archives, spread across themed rooms and temporary exhibitions.

Textile patterns and archives

Patterns and business records from Twente companies show the work behind fabrics. See how colour and repetition on paper formed the instructions for production on a larger scale.

Art and the municipal collection

Paintings, drawings, archaeological finds and everyday objects stand side by side. For each object, ask whether it represents the town, its maker, a resident or the history of collecting.

Exhibitions in 2026

‘Goed gehoed’ and a display on the Kanaal Almelo-Nordhorn are listed with specific end dates. Check the calendar: temporary themes may have ended or been replaced.

Before you go

This is the same institution as profile 0304, under its current name. An announced move to the Hofkeshuis has not yet taken place.
