Intermezzo

Rare works
For this small presentation, several works of art have been taken from the depot: pieces that are seldom seen, but that actually deserve to be seen. These are works that do not always fit in with current exhibitions, for instance because they are somewhat isolated or less in keeping with the rest of the collection. Some have never been displayed in the museum, or have not been for a long time.

Hidden pearls from the collection
Among the depot pieces are paintings by James Ensor and Carel Willink, works often on loan to museums at home and abroad. The selection consists mainly of art from the first half of the 20th century: a period that usually receives less attention on this floor. In this presentation, the works have been brought together in an associative manner. Together, they show how rich, surprising and versatile the Bonnefanten 's collection actually is.
