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.
