Museum van Deinze en de Leiestreek

The permanent exhibition displays exclusively artworks produced by artists who worked or lived in the region from about 1879 to today as well as folkloristic objects.

The donation of the masterwork 'Beet harvest' of Emile Claus by the artist's widow to the town was a decisive factor in the finalisation of the plan.

It was the first building built in Belgium solely for the purpose of serving as a museum after World War II.

Romantic realism, impressionism, symbolism, expressionism, surrealism, figurative and abstract movements are all represented.
