De Vleeshal: contemporary art in a Gothic space
De Vleeshal in Middelburg shows contemporary art in the Gothic hall of the former town hall. The space is more than a backdrop: artists regularly respond to the site itself.
Take in the hall first
When you come in, take a moment for the whole. How do the works relate to the architecture? Then shift your gaze to an individual part and see whether your first impression changes.
A changing programme
Solo and group exhibitions give the hall a different character each time. On the first Sunday of the month there is free admission and a guided tour.
Access varies
The exhibition space is wheelchair accessible, with a small threshold. The toilets can only be reached by stairs and there is no lift. This distinction matters when planning your visit. Use the visitor address on the Markt, not the office address.
Before you go
The address is Markt 1. The toilets are not wheelchair accessible.
