Emile Van Dorenmuseum Genk
The Emile Van Dorenmuseum is an art museum in the centre of Genk, dedicated to Limburg landscape painting. The museum is named after Emile Van Doren, one of the pioneers of the Genk artists' colony in the 19th century. The collection features works by various painters who were inspired by the Kempen landscape. The museum also organises temporary exhibitions and educational activities.
The museum is fully wheelchair accessible. The entrance is step-free and the exhibition halls are reachable on the ground floor or via a lift. The paths between the artworks offer ample manoeuvring space. An adapted toilet is available and staff are happy to assist with any questions about accessibility.
Parking is available at nearby car parks in the centre with reserved accessible spaces. The museum is within walking distance of Genk station and the shopping centre. A visit to the Emile Van Dorenmuseum can easily be combined with a trip to C-mine or a walk through the city centre.
