What can you see?
There are very few sculpture parks like ours. The museum spent fifty years investing in the development of an impressive collection of artworks.
During this time, we must do everything we can to prevent the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 and to protect risk groups. All indoor locations of the Middelheim Museum are closed until April 19 (extendable until May 3). All activities in the Middelheim Museum will also be cancelled until then. Visitors who have registered for activities will receive a personal message with more information. We will inform you soon about the programming and planned events.
The Middelheim Museum park is still accessible to residents in the immediate vicinity. Only walking, running, cycling is allowed with family members who live under the same roof, or with one friend, provided the 1.5 meter distance measure is respected.

New collection pavilion now open
In the new collection pavilion, you can (re)discover hidden works from the collection of the Middelheim Museum. Just over 80% of the works of art in the collection are stored in depots that are closed to visitors. Because the museum wants to offer maximum access to the collections in all their diversity, it has now transformed one such closed repository into an open display area. An initial selection of artworks has been unpacked there and put on display for the public.
Discover our highlights
A number of artworks in our wider collection are definitely considered relevant for art history. Each of them are artistic highlights in their own way, illustrating a specific movement or development in the field of sculpture.
