Klankenbos

Klankenbos is an art museum with eighteen sound installations distributed throughout the forest of the Provincial Domain Dommelhof. The works combine artistic concepts with the woodland landscape and use natural materials and acoustic phenomena.

The museum was founded as the first permanent outdoor sound art exhibition in Europe and set new standards for interactive art forms. This pioneering role helped establish sound art as its own artistic genre.

The place features works by artists from Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands that explore how sounds interact with natural spaces. This cross-border collaboration shapes the character of the site and makes it a hub for artistic exchange.

Access is available daily and admission is free, making it an easily accessible art destination. Guided tours can be arranged in advance for groups and help visitors understand the works better.

The installations constantly change their sound depending on weather and visitor movements, making each visit a different sonic experience. This constant transformation makes the museum a living artwork that evolves with its surroundings.
