Art

Body been pampered? Time for a spiritual pampering with a bit of culture... In Knokke-Heist art is around every corner. Walking through the city is a real cultural experience. Knokke-Heist is constantly adding modern visual art to the city architecture. Art in Knokke-Heist is written with a capital A. Silent witnesses are the many sculptures dotted all over the city, such as Flanagan's 'Leaping Hair' in the Zwin and ‘Two greeting AVL-men’ by Joep Van Lieshout from the Netherlands on the Abraham Hansplein. But the seaside resort has many more hidden treasures. Just about every square has its own work of art. And we mustn't forget the annual art festivals such as the International Cartoon and Photography festival. And in the meanwhile, you might visit the flourishing Cultural centre Scharpoord, for instance, or the Casino and the many internationally renowned art galleries.
