"Admire Belgium's Best Artists at Mu.Zee Several people had recommended Oostende’s art museum, Mu.ZEE, to us, over the years. Still, I expected a small gallery we could visit in an hour or so. How wrong I was. We had over two hours to explore the collections, before our lunch reservation, and we barely scratched the surface. The museum is deceptively large, with corridors snaking off in all directions. The permanent collection focuses on Belgian art from 1850 to the present. Highlights include works by James Ensor, Léon Spilliaert and Constant Permeke. Mu.Zee also host large temporary exhibitions of both international and Belgian artists.

A very calm and enjoyable experience that allows for a relaxed viewing of mostly Belgian modern and contemporary art, with a large collection of Léon Spilliaert and James Ensor works. It is a short walk - through the Leopoldpark - from the city’s center.

Museum dedicated to Belgian art well worth the visit, definitely as a Belgian. There was a wonderful exhibition on Anna Boch while I was there. In a few months there will be a James Ensor exhibition I am sure will be a must-visit!

It's one of these museums where the previous exhibition has already finished, and you only see its catalogues in the museum shop, and the next exhibition is not there yet. I'm not sure I understood the logic of the permanent exhibition (spanning years from late 19th cent to mid-20th). A couple of paintings and applied art are quite good. The small exhibition on Raoul De Kayser is definitely worth a detour. A special thanks goes to the museum staff, who are extra nice and helpful.

Very nice exhibition and nice story, yet the audio guide can’t be made more quiet, also the system with how you play the next thing is very weird and annoying

Good museum with some nice collections spread out over multiple spatious levels. Well organized and easy to reach. Fully equipped as you can expect from a museum this size (lockers, audio guides, reservation system etc). and with a bistro and shop. Extra points for the very helpfull staff!

Lovely James Ensor collection. Also enjoyed the contemporary and modernism rooms. Tickets were 15€ which include an extensive audio guide

This building used to be the shop and headquarters of a cooperative organisation of Ostend. It now houses a museum for contemporary art and a collection of modernistic paintings. Very spacious building is an excellent alternative when weather suggest indoor activities. Audioguides available also for kids.

Nice modern art museum at the otherwise ugly Belgian coast. Works by Permeke, Panamarenko, Ensor and others The displayed pieces from their permanent collection are changed regularly. Free audio guide with your entry ticket. Quite a few nice art galleries in the neighbourhood, and many street art works throughout the city, make this a great day out for lovers of modern art.
