Vleeshal Middelburg, located on the market square, is a striking 16th-century building that originally served as a meat market. Today, it is a contemporary art space known for its bold, thought-provoking exhibitions. The museum focuses on emerging and established international artists, with a program that changes several times a year. The interior retains its historic character, with high ceilings and original beams, creating a unique contrast with the modern artworks. Visitors can expect a mix of media, including installations, video, and sculpture. The adjacent café offers a quiet spot to reflect on the art.
