The sculpture park
More than 35 authors are exhibited there, with over 190 large-sized works, 160 of which are by Bulgarian artists. Some of the works were created specially to occupy a particular place in the park and sized to fit in with specific features of the landscape. The park offers sculptures by Anish Kapoor, Delvoye, Panamarenko, Fernando Botero and Arno Breker along with works by many famous Bulgarian artists such as Pavel Koichev, Emil Popov, Krum Damianov, Valentin Starchev, Lubomir Dalchev, Nikoilai Shmirgela and many others.

The artists
Vivid and original works by leading figures in Bulgarian art such as Svetlin Rusev, Stanislav Pamukchiev, Milko Bozhkov, Atanas Iaranov, or the sculptors Krum Damianov, Pavel Koichev, Emil Popov and Nikolai Shmirgela are featured alongside works by August Rodin, Rik Wouters, Osip Tsatkin, Alberto Giacometti, Arno Breker, Fernando Botero, Anish Kapoor, Wim Delvoye, Panamarenko, Christo and Jean-Claude, Thomas Schütte, Robert Longo, etc. For the western audience, this encounter with an unknown area of European art is a true discovery. Also more than 500 pictorial works are stored in the house.

The Museum

In the beginning of 2010 the private museum of Hugo Voeten in Herentals, Art Center, will open its doors in an old industrial building from the 1930's, entirely renovated to meet the needs of the center. The spacious exhibition halls located on all of the 4 storeys of the building will house M-r Hugo Voeten’s collection of paintings, graphics and sculpture. There will also be separate sections for temporary touring exhibitions. A spacious park in front of the building will be used for open-air exhibitions. The building will also have concert halls, lecture and seminar rooms, a museum shop and a restaurant.
The aim of the museum is to present and promote contemporary world art. The basic priorities will include active dialogue with the public, including the development of art programmes for children and pupils, organizing lectures on themes related to the exhibition programme, organizing a resident programme for young artists from all over the world, working with guest-curators, etc.

    "Leda And The Swan", by Leonardo da Vinci, is one of history's great art losses. From the surviving copies we can see its beauty, the masterly composition, and the complex emblematic symbolism. Leonardo went beyond the sexual act portrayed until then about this mythic story. The great popularity of this subject in the sixteenth century was due to the fact that it was then more acceptable to depict a woman having an act of copulation with an animal than with a man.
