    Het Middelheimmuseum is een prachtig openluchtmuseum. Je kunt je hier de hele middag vermaken want het park (dat an sich al een bezoek waard is) is enorm. Zowel de vaste collectie als de groepstentoonstelling die te zien was toen ik het museum bezocht (POM’ PO PON PO PON PON POM PON. EEN DWARSE FORMATIE VAN SCULPTUREN) waren erg indrukwekkend. Bij een bezoek aan Antwerpen mag je dit museum zeker niet overslaan!
