Lonely Planet review for Openluchtmuseum voor Beeldhouwkunst Middelheim

Some 4km south of the city centre is a large, landscaped park known as the Openluchtmuseum voor Beeldhouwkunst Middelheim. It contains more than 300 works by sculptors, including notable nationals (Rik Wouters) and influential internationals (Auguste Rodin and Henry Moore).

Don't deny yourself the opportunity to ask a randomly selected passerby how to get to the (take a deep breath now) Openluchtmuseum voor Beeldhouwkunst Middelheim (Middelheim Open-Air Statuary Museum), a large park 4km (2.5mi) south of the centre that is scenically littered with over 300 sculptures, including carvings by Rik Wouters and Auguste Rodin.

    One of the benefits of the Middelheim is the other two adjacent parks, making it the green lung of Antwerp.
    For the kids, there is a nice playgrond in the Vogelzang park (to the North)
    Across the road (Beukenlaan) there is the Park De Brand.

    For something to eat and/or drink, there is "De Melkerij" right next to the playground.

    Ideal for hot summer days!
