Kunst in de stad

Art in the park

In addition to the sculptures in the museum park, which give an overview of more than one hundred years of sculpture, the museum also regularly hosts solo and group exhibition as well as developing themed exhibitions with sculptures from the museum’s permanent collection. The park itself is also a prime example of landscape art.

Art on the Move

In the coming months, a total of 224 works of art will be given a new home in the art park and at the open-air depot. In the process, some parts of the park will be further upgraded in close partnership with the city of Antwerp's Department for green spaces. There are also new works, including a striking fountain sculpture by Camille Henrot. This new themed presentation brings art and nature even closer together.  

Permanent collection

The Middelheim Museum collection features approximately 1800 works of art, collected over a period of more than 50 years. Works date from around 1900 to the present and provide an excellent international overview of modern and contemporary art.

You can also consult our entire collection online.

The Braem Pavilion

Renaat Braem designed a pavilion as well as an exceptional architectural gem.

Collection pavilion

In the 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.
