Overall, De Pont Museum is regarded as a worthwhile destination for art enthusiasts, particularly those interested in contemporary works, though it may not appeal as much to those seeking more traditional art forms.
Museum De Pont beschikt over een mooie tentoonstellingsruimte in een voormalige textielfabriek. Het museale en het industrieel erfgoed is er mooi in balans, met een erg veelzijdige moderne collectie werken. Het museum is net buiten het centrum te vinden en is mede daardoor erg goed te bereiken met de auto. Ook is er een ruime parkeerplaats. Bezoekje meer dan waard!
