OPENING exhibition Music-Hall
Antwerp Province House

Art and music in dialogue, 1900-2000

At the beginning of the 20th century, the music hall was a vibrant place where artists found inspiration. Classical music, tango, theater, and early cinema came together here. This mix of high and low culture was the ideal breeding ground for innovative art.

The Music Hall exhibition shows how artists translated the lively world of the music hall into innovative images.

In turn, they inspired later generations of artists. This is evident from the selection of works from the provincial art collection. The numerous loans also demonstrate the importance of the interaction between music and visual art after the two world wars.
