James Ensor this summer
James Ensor has always been closely linked to the city of Ostend and still is today!
The House of James Ensor has been renovated and extended and will reopen its doors on 14 July 2020.
The brand-new museum consists of the original James Ensor house and an interactive experience centre located in the adjacent building. Visitors will discover the painter’s intimacy, his rich collection of dolls, puppets and vases in experience spaces focused on a distinct theme and an exhibition space with changing installations. The first exhibition “Ensor and Ostend” will run until 27 September 2020.
