In the autumn of 2026, M will, for the first time, highlight the artistic exchange between Italy and the Low Countries in the 16th century. Featuring masterpieces from renowned international museums, the exhibition tells the fascinating story of mutual influence, virtuoso craftsmanship, and a drive for innovation.

The collection of M’ spans several centuries: from ancient masters to contemporary makers and everything in between. The presentation showcases the richness of this collection and challenges you to actively look. Masterpieces and little-known gems guide you along unexpected parallels and highlight pressing societal questions of our time.

Els Nouwen’s work is hard to pin down. Her paintings typically begin with a photographic image, either from the media, art history or her personal archive, that she transfers to canvas with great technical precision. However, just when it seems settled, the disruption begins.
 

Just around the corner from M, the restored St Peter’s Church is the setting for a new sensory experience. M will guide you through the fascinating story of this Gothic church and help you renew your acquaintance with its art treasures: masterpieces by Flemish Masters in their authentic context.

Elise El Yousfi's presentation marks the culmination of her five-month residency at M. During her residency, she continued to develop a visual practice situated at the intersection of sculpture and poetry. Raised within a Moroccan and French cultural background, El Yousfi’s work explores questions of diaspora, identity, and the experience of growing up. 

With a background in architecture and visual arts, Nefeli Papadimouli works across media, from participatory actions in public space to sculpture, drawing, costume design, moving image, installation and performance. Inspired by phenomenology, feminism and contemporary political theory, she explores spatial configurations of distance as essential elements in processes of social conflict, negotiation and equilibrium.
