MUSEUM OF MUSEUMS

Apr 16 — Nov 1, 2026 | Art et Marges Musée, Brussels, Belgium

Works from the Art et marges museum collection successively transform the spaces in which they are displayed.

A botanical garden, a planetarium, an anthropological cabinet, a folklore museum… these settings unfold before the viewer like a series of temples, each infused with its own atmosphere by the Muses. Is the museum a sacred place?

'MUSEUM OF MUSEUMS' sets out to dismantle the walls we so often imagine standing between artwork and audience. Through scenographic and educational displays inspired by different museum typologies, and with objects brought out from the reserves, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the exhibition as a total experience.

Amid the Art brut collections — between tissue paper and the scent of popcorn (come and see for yourself!) — works from the contemporary visual arts scene also appear. While the Art et marges museum may delight, for the occasion, in spotting categories everywhere, its true specialty lies in creating dialogue between them.

Featuring works by Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, Alejandro Cardenas, Michael Kagan, Hans Op de Beeck.
