Middelheim Open-air Museum of Sculpture

Middelheim was a country estate, owned at one time or another by a slew of wealthy families. It was bought by the city of Antwerp in 1910, and opened to the public. The first sculpture exhibition was held in 1950, and it was such a success that the Antwerp government decided to establish a permanent open-air sculpture museum.

Artists represented in the Middelheim collection include Jean Arp, Emile Antoine Bourdelle, Alexander Calder, Pablo Gargallo, Barbara Hepworth, Floris and Oscar Jespers, Aristide Maillol, Giacomo Manzu, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, Reinhoud, Auguste Rodin, Jesus Rafael Soto, Rik Wouters, and Ossip Zadkine.
