Leuven’s new museum has received the very short name M. In this case, the following maxim applies: the shorter the name, the more intense the experience of a visit.

M is the result of valuable cultural heritage and dynamic innovation. The Vander Kelen-Mertens Museum and the historical collection have encountered an exciting new museum complex and dynamic museum operations. All this is nestled in the town, with its sights set on the world.

This book introduces you to the history of the collection and guides you through Stephane Beel’s architecture. In addition, 50 of the finest masterpieces from the museum’s collection are presented in a fresh, pleasant manner, featuring beautiful illustrations of works by Constantin Meunier, James Ensor, Dirk Bouts, Michiel Coxie and many others.
