S.M.A.K.
bio
Dynamic and highly individual, that's S.M.A.K. The aim of the museum is to present a unique programme in which the artist plays a central role and to focus on solo exhibitions of both established and young artists. The permanent collection of top national and international works is presented in continuous interaction with original, often daring exhibitions.
Inside the S.M.A.K. is a place for experiment and innovation but the museum also focuses attention on the public space outside its walls. In 2012 the large Track (working title) project will trace an artistic path through the city of Ghent. Keeping a finger on the pulse. But sometimes it's salt on the wound too.
Experience the S.M.A.K. as an open house. The broad range of services and the building are transparent and accessible. A large reception area and fine open exhibition rooms exude an atmosphere of peace and quiet in which the works of art are displayed to their best advantage.
On top of the broad range of services for groups and the temporary activities, the S.M.A.K. is also focusing on customised visits and projects.
You can gradually recover from these many impressions in the museum café.
Open: Tuesday - Sunday: 10 am - 6 pm

Marc Ruyters, Eva Wittocx, 2008Among the modern-art crowd, Belgium is known as the country with that 'surrealist' lineage: James Ensor - René Magritte - Marcel Broodthaers. While this is certainly a fine compliment for three artists of far-reaching significance, a great deal has changed in this country, which has been a crossroads of the Roman and Germanic cultures, a key logistic point between Great Britain, Germany and France, and home to the European Community.
