From 24 September onwards, the new collection presentation in the renovated museum halls is open to the public. On Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 September, the KMSKA will celebrate its reopening with an artistic festival.
Musea Brugge has acquired two tapestries from Otobong Nkanga that are part of the exhibition Underneath the Shade We Lay Grounded at St. John's Hospital.
In 2023, MSK, the oldest museum in Belgium, celebrates its 225th birthday. The festive year kicks off with an exhibition of the oeuvre of painter, draughtsman and graphic artist Albert Baertsoen (1866-1922), 'le peintre de Gand'.
Mu.ZEE has added an artwork by Hans Op de Beeck to its collection. Pond (2003) is part of a series of works, focused on the humanisation and domestication of nature.
Alabaster, more luxurious than gold and soft as velvet, was a very popular material in European sculpture. M and the Louvre Museum have teamed up to show examples of all aspects of the material by using masterpieces from the 14th to the 17th century. The exhibition opens October 14, in conjunction with an exhibition of the work of Kato Six.

Investments in art through Art Security Tokens and NFTs
KMSKA is the first European museum to organise an Art Security Token Offering with a work by James Ensor. The Rembrandt Heritage Foundation creates a Rembrandt museum in metaverse by means of non fungible tokens (NFTs) of The Night Watch. The art market is experiencing a revolution.
Summer Course for the Study of the Arts in Flanders 2022
The Summer Course 'The Age of Van Eyck in Context' took place in Bruges, Ghent, Brussels, Leuven, Antwerp, Zoutleeuw and Lille after a two-year postponement. Seventeen doctoral students and researchers in art history from around the world attended an eleven-day program of lectures, visits to museums and archives, workshops and city walks.
“All the lectures and the places that we are visiting are together creating a narrative and I don’t think it’s possible to obtain such a level of knowledge and also experience on your own.”
Aleksandra Janiszewska-Cardone, Curator National Museum in Warsaw, Poland
