Emile Van Dorenmuseum

Emile Van Dorenmuseum, Art museum in Genk, Belgium.

The Emile Van Doren Museum is an art collection housed in the former residence of Belgian landscape painter Emile Van Doren on Henri Decleenestraat. The building displays paintings and works by the owner alongside creations by other Belgian artists from the same period.

Emile Van Doren (1865–1949) settled in Genk around 1890, where artists had been drawn since the 1840s. In 1913 he and his wife Cidonie Raikem built the English cottage-style villa Le Coin Perdu on the Verloren Kostweg, now Henri Decleenestraat. Their daughter Fanny left the house and its furnishings to the city of Genk on her death in 1956, asking for a cultural use; it opened as the Stedelijk Museum en Cultuurhuis Emile Van Doren in 1976.

The museum is named after Emile Van Doren, a Belgian landscape painter whose works capture the natural surroundings of the region. You can see his creations displayed alongside works by other Belgian artists throughout the historic home's rooms.

The museum is open Thursday through Sunday from 14:00 to 17:00 and offers free admission on most days. Keep in mind that special events and concerts may involve different conditions.

The villa was built in 1913 just outside Genk's centre and looks out on the Molenvijvers, the ponds Van Doren painted repeatedly. It may have been designed by architect Adrien Blomme (1878–1940). Van Doren lived and worked here until his death in 1949, on the street then called Verloren Kostweg, now Henri Decleenestraat.
