Contemporary art collection

For many of these artists, M has an collected several works that illustrate the development and diversity of their oeuvre. Contemporary artists exhibiting at M are invited to be inspired by our collection of contemporary and old art, often with surprising results.

Cera collection

The contemporary art collection consists of three subcollections. The largest is the Cera-collection, with about 600 works by over 100 artists. M has held them on long-term loan since 2011. Cera focuses mainly on emerging and lesser known Belgian artists.  M provides advice for purchases.

Cera, one of M’s structural partners

Cera has been one of M’s structural partners since 2011 and we work together intensively, with tangible results.

The Cera cooperative invests in welfare and well-being. Among other things, Cera has a large collection of contemporary Belgian art which it has given on long-term loan to M. We look after this collection, exhibit pieces from it and advise Cera on new purchases.
 

Cera and M have a shared ambition: both are committed to contemporary art in Belgium. For M, the partnership is an excellent opportunity to showcase art of top quality. Cera can share its important contribution to Belgium's art heritage with a wider audience.

Every two years, M places once of its rooms in the hands of the public for a collection presentation that we let our visitors put together. In the past you could watch 'Boundless hospitality', 'Madness' and 'The Ten'. These projects have all been realised with the support of Cera.
