Uncensored.
Vivid tales from behind the scenes
The expo Uncensored. Vivid tales from behind the scenes is the last exhibition before the work is carried out and your final chance to visit a ‘colonial museum’. By means of a trail passing through the rooms and cellars, with 30 stop-offs on the way, we regale you with anecdotes from the museum, known and unknown tales and all sorts of things you couldn’t possibly have known before.

Jef Geys
The exhibition intends to bring to light all of Geys’s "Kome" - Kunstwerken op meerdere exemplaren (Artworks in several copies). With each intervention by Geys depending on the location or on a specific thematic, the display of the artworks will be a work of art in itself, an installation exceeding the "Kome" and becoming therefore a unique work of art.
