Middelheimmuseum is an open-air sculpture park in Antwerp, where artworks stand among trees, gardens and paths. The park brings sculpture and landscape together across a green setting.

Its collection includes works by Carl Andre, Franz West, Auguste Rodin, Ai Weiwei and Roman Signer. Ai Weiwei’s The Bridge Without a Name reworks an old park bridge with planks shaped like China.

Carl Andre’s 74 Weathering Way places steel plates directly on the ground, where weather and footsteps alter their surface. The Braem Pavilion anchors the grounds beside sculptures and gardens.

Renaat Braem designed its organic form, open patios and light-filled roof for the surrounding park landscape. The pavilion houses fragile works by Alberto Giacometti, Jean Arp and Wim Delvoye.

The House provides a semi-open exhibition space designed by Paul Robbrecht, with transparent walls and a modest architectural presence. Hortiflora extends the museum into a botanical flower garden.

Middelheim Castle adds historic architecture to the route through the grounds and connects the park’s cultural layers. The Orangerie documentation centre presents information about the park’s history and artists.

Contemporary commissions, temporary exhibitions and performances create new connections between artworks and their surroundings. You can follow the main path from the Braem Pavilion past Middelheim Castle towards Hortiflora.

The park invites close looking outdoors, among sculpture, foliage and changing light. Each placement gives the surrounding landscape an active role in how you encounter the art.
