The museum for everyone in Leuven

"First of all, I think supporting M is important. Leuven is a city that rightly is proud of its past but is also open to new developments. The same in fact applies to M, just look at the combination of ancient and contemporary art, at the architecture of the building... M is also right in the middle of town, it is a bit like the museum for everyone in Leuven. It is no longer possible to imagine Leuven without it. This city without M would not be Leuven."

"As an M-bassador, you also enjoy all kinds of benefits. There are interesting lectures you can go to, for example. I remember one about the Arenbergs, in 2018. Up until that point, I really only knew that family by name, but since then I know how important they have been for Leuven, without them we would have a lot fewer historical buildings, and no Heverleebos or Meerdaalwoud. When I visited the Arenberg exhibition at M after that lecture, I took away a lot more from it."

"As an M-bassador, you can also take part in cultural excursions and tours with artists and curators. I would like to do that again. I think it would be particularly interesting to hear, say, a contemporary artist talk about his or her work." 

"Once a year, M organises a Friends Day for M-bassadors and M-art patrons. I always try to go along to that. You will hear about new exhibitions and activities coming up, get a bite to eat and a drink... You can also bring someone with you - very enjoyable."
