Middelheim Park is very interesting and I am into this sort of thing. Oh the disappointment to arrive on a Monday to find (a.) half the park closed, gated to prevent entry (b.) all the mobile sculptures turned off because it was again a Monday. Massive points off for being the only park/museum I know of that closes on a... More

The outdoor museum Middelheim is great for an afternoon stroll. You walk in between the works of art, some more modern than others and afterwards you can relax a bit by the castle bar.

Unfortunately, it was freezing when we visited this place but I still loved it. During warmer months it must be absolutely beautiful. It is a perfect way to view art.

This museum is outside the city centre of Antwerp but definitely worth the effort. All statues and constructions are outside in a beautiful park, very quiet, you can hear the birds sing actually. For childeren: they have little briefcases, each one has a theme. Inside there's a brochure with some information about the activities. Children love it (and you learn... More

The park is situated at the outskirts of Antwerp, but a bus will bring you there. Or hire a bike at the velokes or bluebike points. Go for a walk in this beautiful park with very old trees, admire the sculptures that live in harmony with the trees, have a look at Weiwei's bridge, have a drink in the cafe... More

It is hidden somewhere outside of the center of Antwerp but absolutely worthwhile to go there. The amount of excellent sculptures there is enormous.Just go there and feel overwhelmed by the beauty of the park and statues.

The Middelheim outdoor museum gives you an excellent idea on evolution in sculpture. I like to pass hours there, especially when the weather is good, I always take my sketchbook with me, lot of inspiration there ! A surplus is the inn !
