Must see museum in Ostend. Very friendly and helpful staff. Multiple categories of discount. Beautiful shop. Permanent exhibition (Spillaert and Ensor) is certainly worthwhile!
Regular temporary exhibitions. Accessible on foot from the station or the center.

Great events. From exhibitions of Ensor's paintings and sketches to workshops in art and creativity. These workshops are called LABO and are divided into age categories. Well-known artists teach photography, fashion design, ceramics, lithography, painting techniques, acrylic on canvas, paper lamps, 3D print, etc. The workshops are highly recommended.

Beautiful collection by Ensor and Spilliaert on the ground floor and various works by Permeke. Lots of space on other floors, but collection was a bit disappointing. Certain rooms seemed to be in need of renovation, and signage was often missing, leading to empty spaces. Doer space on the 2nd floor is fun for children!

A beautiful museum. Interesting works. Currently the exhibition "the raft" is very well organized with works on site but also throughout the city, which gives the opportunity to discover it or rediscover it !!
