30 Jan '17
Leuven's M Museum closed until June
Summary
Following a successful exhibition about Thomas More, Leuven's M Museum is closed for restructuring
52,000 works
Leuven’s M Museum closed its doors earlier this month and will re-open on 10 June with a fresh look for its permanent collection. The city museum’s collection contains more than 52,000 works of both old and contemporary international art, with a focus on Leuven and Brabant masters.
The reconfigured space will be able to show more of the collection and will be organised around stories and themes. Multi-media installations will also be placed, allowing better interaction with the public.
Until the museum re-opens, it will host exhibitions and events under the title Open M at both the nearby Sint-Pieters Church and the University of Leuven’s library as well as its Valk building.
