A very short name – M – considering that it’s a museum that is extremely diverse and has a substantial history. Previously, this was the Stedelijk Museum VanderKelen-Mertens, a real mouthful. The new Leuven museum unifies not only the old and new buildings, but also brings together old and new art. There’s place for paintings, sculpture, photography, video and film, design and architecture. Aside from these temporary exhibitions, there’s also a permanent collection that focuses on artistic production in Leuven and Brabant, from the Middle Ages until the present. To be attractive for families, the museum organizes a ‘family day’ the first Sunday of each month; and for children there are workshops and internships during school vacations. For adults there are many interesting tours. The M Museum Leuven is a surprising and fascinating museum with an international atmosphere!
