Big Arsenal (Groot Tuighuis) instance of barracks
The building is changed to become a museum
On handing over the building, the Authorities made the provision that Oscar Leeuw, architect of Museum Kam in Nijmegen, would change it to a suitable building. His main contribution is the current western façade, which made a suitable entrance. The contract was signed in 1924, and in 1925 the 'Centraal Noord Brabantsch Museum' was opened.Shortly after the opening of the museum, a description was given of the modest beginnings of the museum: A hall had been made in the central nave of the Big Arsenal. It was devoted to art work, mainly sculptures. Behind the hall the choir housed the stately meeting room of the society. Near the choir were stairs to the upper galleries. The galleries gave an overview of the provincial and city history. The move to the Big Arsenal was crucial for the museum, because it got a space to start its collections and to exhibit them.
