Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum

See art come to life at the Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum.

At the Middelheim Sculpture Museum, you can picnic, cycle or even walk the dog on its luxurious sprawling garden while surrounded by some of the most famous modern and contemporary masterpieces in the world. In winter, you can even build a snowman and add your own piece of art to the collection!


Art in the Middelheim Sculpture Museum will never be obscure or snobbish, as the museum provides a multitude of fun, interactive activities to help you appreciate their extraordinary collection. Take a jog through the 3.2km running trail, and be rejuvenated by both the exercise and the artworks greeting you at every turn. The Muzzzé museum game, contained within a portable box that can be borrowed for free, introduces the ten most important themes and ideas in sculpture through fun activities paired with a tour of the museum and is the perfect way for the family to learn about sculpture together. At the end of their walk through the museum, visitors buzzing with creativity can express themselves at the Creative Workshop. This two-hour workshop teaches you a few basic sculpting techniques and allows you to create your very own masterpiece to bring home.


Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a parent of energetic children or simply looking to spend a fun afternoon at one of the most beautiful parks in Belgium, the Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum is the place for you.
