Best Modern art museum in belgium

J	Johan Sleeckx on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really wonderfull place, full of amazing art. Pieces and sculptures, some integrated into the gardens and nature. Passing by on our way to the coast, we stopped during a rainy day and only explored the inside exhibition with the kids. Although it is NOT a playground they we're amazed and fascinated. The current expo with pieces of Panamarenko is awesome. We will for sure come back this summer to explore the outside. For the hungry kids, they serve a nice priced 'krok uit het vuistje', enjoy it on their outside terrace! Big thank you for the Verbeke family to share their private collections.

z	ze maneu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a great place with all types of art and a huge collection of taxidermy. However there are a lot of tropical birds in cages that is a shame
L	La Belgique insolite on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really strange museum... I thought this different kind of art would be different but actually it was not... The part under the greenhouses was OK, just wondering why people have such ideas. But the inside was quite disgusting with this organic art (I don't give details, better this way). The only thing interesting was the laughing bird, but still figuring out what it's doing in an art museum...
T	Thomas Martin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definetly worth the visit. A vast and very diverse collection in a nice location. You can easily spend 3+ hours here (or many more). A lot of industrial art and recycling art. Some nice collections too, from African fantasy coffins, over seashells to stuffed animals. (not the plush kind... ?) Some outdoor works as well as parts of the location are starting to look quite run down. At a place like this, that is certainly part of the charm, but still a little more effort wouldn't hurt...
F	Frederic Iterbeke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Might be the most awesome museum in Belgium. Weird installations and non standard art, inside and outside. A lot of emphasis on recycling/circular material use. Pretty creepy and unsettling or slightly discomforting stuff such as huge amounts of preserved animals, with some decomposing on the spot. Huge garden with a lot art 'buildings' and constructions using everything and anything from shipping containers to metal pipes, scaffolding, concrete blocks, biostructures, etc. Also has a building dedicated to collages. Temporary Panamarenko exhibit. Due to the sheer amount of things to see, count at least 3-4 hours for a full visit.
B	Bart Eekhaut on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Contemporary art for all ages in a very informal environment. You can enjoy the pieces of art both in and outdoor. The collection is very diverse and therefor quite accessible for everybody. You can also enjoy the class covered terrace outdoor.
K	Kris Van Bellinghen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An alternative experience. While there is a lot to see like art with living and dead animals, the 'park' doesn't seems to be well maintained. It's looking old. Things that bother me in museums is when the exposition areas are used to store stuff like chairs etc. Beside that, there is a nice outdoors with much rather rare mushrooms. Yes, I visited in the autumn.
