Middelheimmuseum

In 2025, the Middelheim Museum will celebrate its 75th anniversary. Discover new art or rediscover your favorites in the new collection exhibition. Breathe in fresh air and gain new insights. The Middelheim Museum stimulates and relaxes at the same time. Come inside and take a step outside.

Since 1950, the Middelheim Museum has brought together a world of people: artists and walkers, culture seekers and those in search of peace, neighbours and tourists. Big and small, young and old, loud and quiet. Thanks to you, the museum continues to grow and thrive. There are no classic exhibition halls here but living landscapes full of chirping birds and changing sunlight. In the sculpture park, you see, feel, and smell the seasons. The changing nature makes every visit unique, and you can simply walk in for free. Old and new architecture come together with modern and contemporary art in the historical park. You’ll see more than 250 sculptures outdoors, amongst the trees and flowers, in the grass, in a refreshing thematic exhibition. Make sure to check out their recent acquisitions in the park: works by artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Aline Bouvy, Kati Heck, Zanele Muholi, and Guy Rombouts.

During Antwerp Art Weekend, the Middelheim Museum continues their celebrations by hosting two guided tours through the park on:

• Saturday 31.05, 15:00-17:00
• Sunday 1.06, 14:00-16:00

Participation is free, but prior reservation is required. Reserve you spot through emailing to [email protected].

Middelheimmuseum, Antwerp's only open-air museum, is the place to go for an encounter with masters of modern and contemporary sculpture in the unique setting of a magnificent park. The works of important sculptors like Auguste Rodin and Henry Moore line the stately avenues and grace the inviting lawns of the park, along with contemporary artists like Dan Graham or Ai Weiwei. Guest artists show their work or create custom works for Middelheim Museum.

Admission to this inspiring and inviting museum is free. It is a cultural attraction as well as the perfect place for a picnic on a sunny day. In addition to its sizeable permanent collection the museum also hosts fascinating temporary exhibitions.
