Dialogue at the Verbeke Foundation

Hidden in the Flemish countryside, the Verbeke Foundation is a unique haven for contemporary art: an ever-evolving blend of nature, architecture, and large-scale installations. Founded by Geert and Carla Verbeke, this private art site houses an extraordinary collection of modern and contemporary works, inviting visitors to reflect on the relationship between art and environment.
