The exhibition, containing works of art, books, archival materials and documents, is dedicated to the creative and social activities of Marcel Broodthaers, a key figure in Belgian art of the 20th century.

Marcel Broodthaers, a Belgian artist, poet and film director, was a breakthrough in mid-20th century European art. So he placed unsold copies of a collection of his poems in plaster, not only making it impossible to read them, but also creating an art object - one of the most important assets of the museum's collection. Visitors will be able to discover the author's extraordinary humor and poetry, study his influence on contemporary art.
