Good will, bright rooms. A little disappointed by the temporary exhibition Ensor and Spilliaert, lack of major works
The exibtition of James Ensor and Leon Spilliaert is really wonderful. Pictures, text, film and paintings make a variation of their work a great experience.
Very friendly welcome and discovery of Belgian artists! Collections that change regularly.
Great to take a look! The top floor was the most interesting.
Beautiful exhibition spaces, which are arranged in a cluttered manner.
Not recommended. Non-coherent representation. Ensor was the only bright spot.
Superb building, pleasant visit and discovery of many artists
Definitely worth a visit. It is very large so you can walk around for hours. If you are doing this with a group, I definitely recommend a guide.
The museum is getting old. The exhibitions are arranged a bit boring.
Interesting collection including Ensor and Spillaert
The exhibition Ensor and Spilliaert are really worth it, as well as the Raoul Servais wing. The other floors look a bit deserted.
Very nice exhibition on Ensor and Spilliaert. Very friendly and informative welcome
Worth a visit. Ensor and spilliaert in particular left a deep impression.
Beautiful exhibition proposals. Beautiful layout of the premises
Known for its permanent exhibition of Ensor - Spillaert. Make the effort to visit the other floors as well. Very nice exhibition from Servais. Very friendly welcome.
Interesting exhibition about Ensor, but too small and expensive ( 9) for what was on display.
Mu.ZEE shows an impressive overview of the work of James Ensor and Leon Spilliaert. Top works by two intriguing artists, who demand attentive looking. The museum is located in a former department store with art deco elements. In the semi-permanent installation an overview of Belgian art from around 1830 to the present. Do not skip if you are in Ostend.
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.
Surprisingly beautiful museum, impressive building and lots to see. Strong collections and back with the classics!
Museum Ostend with works of ensor and leon spillaert
Lots of paintings by James Ensor, with very nice staging, an instructive audio guide. Museum a little cold.
Beautiful museum that gives you insight into the art of the 20th century
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!
Beautiful museum, must visit if you are in Ostend! Lots of original work by James Ensor.
Nice collection. Friendly welcome. I could use my museum pass which is very handy. From now on I will go regularly.
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 !!
