EST. 1957

Dynamic and unconventional. This describes both Ghent and the Museum of Contemporary Art (S.M.A.K.). Its permanent collection of first-rate Belgian and international works is presented in constant interaction with original and often provocative exhibitions. Do you feel the need to experience your attendance to the museum on another level? Stroll through S.M.A.K. with a specialized guide, bookable in advance, at your side.

You’ll get acquainted with our temporary exhibitions and dig deeper into themes our artists put forward. The S.M.A.K.-pub serves something for everybody and is a great addition to your visit. Either you start with a tasteful lunch and storm into the gallery afterwards or you start with exploring the galleries and end your visit with a glass of cava or a cup of coffee later. You can gently recover from all these impressions in the adjacent Citadel Park.
