Jakob Smitsmuseum, Art museum in Sluis, Mol, Belgium.
Description
The Jakob Smitsmuseum is an art museum housed in a former rectory that displays paintings and etchings. The rooms feature both works from the permanent collection and pieces from rotating exhibitions that change throughout the year.
History
The museum was founded in 1977 to preserve the legacy of Dutch-Belgian painter Jakob Smits. He moved to the hamlet of Achterbos in 1888 and became central to the artistic movement in the region until his death in 1928.
Culture
The collection reflects the work of local Mol School artists displayed alongside historical masters in rotating exhibitions. Visitors can observe how regional artistic traditions connect with broader European art movements through the pieces on view.
Practical
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday and allows visitors to explore the collections at their own pace. Guided tours and specialized programs are available for school groups and families with children.
