  • 5/5 Mario M. 1 year ago on Google • 380 reviews
    Very nice discovery. I highly recommend to visit this exposition of the works of Jean-Michel Folon. I did not know who he was but his drawings really made me dream. It was very interesting to see how his drawings populated magazines and books all over the world. The visit takes around 45 minutes and I recommend it to parents with kids as well. You will leave the place enriched. I feel the building is not accessible for wheelchairs. There are some stairs and steps during the tour.

    The most intimate, authentic sharing of Folon's work. Never a boring moment as you discover through his known works of visceral water coloring, multi texture and sculptures. Not only have I learned but truly was inspired <3

    Great trip with my family (wife, 2 kids and my mother). The path to the museum is closed to cars: a nice walk through the park next to the castle. We really enjoyed the exposed art - from painting, sculptures, posters, cards, stamps, … a nice journey into Folon’s world!

    Museum of a rather unknown Belgian artist, but his works deserve at least the same attention as Magritte's beautiful artworks. Folon's works make you dream, surrealistically and realistically beautiful at the same time. Placed in a calm, beautiful park, you can visit this museum followed by a walk in nature.

    Nice museum in a wonderful location. The artwork is super interesting, but since I am not familiar with the artist, I felt like I was missing some background information about him. But I really enjoyed the visit.

    Poetic overview of Folons work. The museum is set in a park and getting there from the parking makes a nice walk. I wouldn't make a big détour but it's a nice break if you're in the area.
