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.

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.
