Vleeshal Middelburg is a former meat market (vleeshal) built in the 16th century, now repurposed as a museum for contemporary art. The building itself is a Gothic structure with a stepped gable and a large hall that once housed butchers' stalls. Today, it presents cutting-edge exhibitions by international and Dutch artists, often focusing on installation art, photography, and new media. The stark white interior contrasts with the historic exterior, creating a unique atmosphere. Visitors can explore the main hall and upper galleries. The museum also hosts lectures and events. It's a must for contemporary art lovers.
