What sets Marres apart is its approach to art: not just as something to look at, but as a total experience. The exhibitions are often interdisciplinary and experimental, featuring installations, scent art, sound, performance, or tactile environments. You might walk into a dark room, find yourself in a dreamlike world, or end up in an installation that activates your entire body. Art with impact, subtle or overwhelming.
Marres is housed in an elegant mansion with high ceilings, old staircases and a peaceful city garden behind the façade. The contrast between the classical architecture and the contemporary installations makes a visit here extra special. The rooms are atmospheric, intimate and surprising. From small cabinets to larger rooms that are arranged differently each time.
The hidden garden of Marres is an oasis of tranquillity in the middle of the city. In spring and summer, it is a pleasant place to relax after visiting an exhibition. Adjacent to it is Marres Kitchen, a restaurant renowned for its Mediterranean cuisine, seasonal dishes, and relaxed atmosphere. You don't have to be a museum visitor to come here for lunch or dinner, but it is the perfect complement to a day of cultural exploration.
Marres attracts a wide audience: from students and artists to curious city dwellers and tourists. With workshops, scent walks, lectures and educational projects, Marres also manages to connect with the city beyond the walls of the building. It is a place where art is not only displayed, but also shared, discussed and experienced.
