I Love Breda
'I Love Breda' is a community project in which citizens and abroad were invited to capture the city of Breda in their own way, resulting in an honest, diverse and intriguing view of the city. Every year the exhibition would open on Boxing Day resulting in a great foot fall. For this annual exhibition, a both a jury price and visitors price was given away coinciding with Museum Night Breda.
MOTI, Museum of the Image (now Stedelijk Museum Breda) is located in the Old Men's House, which served as a care home for a long time. MOTI was a visual culture museum. The varied collection includes film, photography, design, fashion, visual arts, gaming, science and architecture. Using this collection, the story of visual culture is told and the museum shows the dynamic world of images. As of January 1st 2017, MOTI merged with Breda's Museum into Stedelijk Museum Breda.
Van den Bout worked full-time at MOTI (now Stedelijke Museum Breda). Her work covered three days a week on the exhibition department and two days a week on the education department. This created a lively work environment varying from exhibition programming to running events and from creating an audio guide to facilitating guided tours.
