M – Museum Leuven organizes its second annual Scholar’s Day. The theme is ‘Current research in late medieval sculpture’, focusing on European sculpture from the 12th until the 16th century.
During the event, M will reveal the official name and website of a newly established network on medieval sculpture. A visit to the exhibition ‘Sculptures from Bruges’ (Beelden uit Brugge) is also part of the program. This exhibition presents a selection of sculptures from the Gruuthusemuseum in Bruges and M’s own collection.
