The Living Museum Tilburg

The Living Museum is an outsider art programme aimed at people who haven't had the easiest life. For example, people with addiction, psychiatric problems or problems with homelesness. 

The Living Museum has created a place where people can meet each other, make art together and to share it. Let yourself be inspired and share your talents with the world. Everyone is welcome to express themselves at this museum, to discover, to develop and to work on one's recovery. Take your vulnerability and change this into one of your strengths. Everyone deserves a podium.

What is outsider art?
