A KIND OF A 'HUH?'*

Artist publications, a guide

After decades on the margins, the medium of artist publication is gaining popularity. Increasingly, artists are choosing this art form to express artistic ideas, and art collectors and museums are showing increasing interest in it. That is why the Middelheim Museum has initiated a subsidised, two-year project around the artists' publications in the museum library.

Collection Pavilion

In this building, you’ll find various masterpieces, depot sculptures and the museum library.

The building

Stéphane Beel’s closed depot building was converted into a public space that strengthens the relationship between art, architecture and nature.

The depot collections

Middelheim Museum has collected many works that are not suited to or are less suitable for presentation in the park and therefore remain largely hidden.

Work of art in focus

Twice a year, Middelheim Museum focuses on a different work from the collection pavilion, illuminating it more fully and exploring it from all sides.

Leopold II: 1873-2020

On 9 June 2020, a statue of King Leopold II (1835-1909) was removed from the public space of Ekeren, Antwerp, where it had stood since 1873. Its removal was a highly charged occurrence and led to numerous questions being addressed at the museum. The below text contains the answer to some of those questions.
