This open-air museum on the southern edge of Antwerp displays modern and contemporary sculpture across a landscaped park of lawns, paths and mature trees. Founded in the 1950s, it holds works by leading twentieth-century artists set among the greenery, allowing visitors to encounter the pieces in changing light and weather. A pavilion shelters more fragile works, and the collection grows through commissions and acquisitions. Free to enter, it combines an art collection with a public park, popular with families and walkers.
