The
museum part of the Archives and Museum of Flemish Cultural Life provides an
overview of two hundred years of cultural life in Flanders : sculptures,
paintings, photographs, documents of historical interest, outstanding
publications and some reconstructions of ‘litarary interiors’ are permanetly
on display.Special exhibitions are organised on a regular basis.
The collection now consists of more than 300 pieces, beginning chronologically with Auguste Rodin. Most are out in the open air and share the seasons with the wonderful nature. However a number of sculptures require protection from elements and so are housed in a pavilion. The castle orangery is now the documentation centre.
Many names, apart from Rodin’s, attest to the high artistic standard that is upheld at Middelheim. They include Rik Wouters, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Vic Gentils, Ossip Zadkine and Roel D’Haese.
