Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Contemporary art museum in Citadelpark, Ghent, Belgium
The Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst occupies a renovated exhibition hall facing the Museum of Fine Arts across the landscaped gardens of Citadelpark.
The museum emerged from an art association founded in 1957 and relocated to its current location in 1996 before officially opening in 1999.
The collection contains 2000 works from national and international artists, covering artistic movements from the second half of the 20th century.
