Goedele Bartholomeeusen new director of MDD

The Board of Directors of Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens has appointed Goedele Bartholomeeusen as its new director.

Bartholomeeusen took over the role of Antony Hudek, who has led the museum for three years. With a background spanning art history through economics, Bartholomeeusen worked internationally as a gallerist and art fair director. Bartholomeeusen will lead Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens to the next sustainable chapter while strengthening MDD’s identity.

“MDD has always served as a destination for artists, collectors and a curious public to engage with art in a lush natural environment. MDD's next chapter will focus on merging the museum and its sculpture garden, preserving the historic site as we equip the institution for the demands of the future. The second renovation, commencing in September 2023, will transform the current building to embrace this new chapter by reducing its carbon footprint and expanding the exhibition spaces. We will become a stronger institution, better able to nurture the creative freedom of artists and curators while cultivating the cross-pollination of ideas from local and international sources. MDD will be a thriving laboratory for exceptional talent to grow and evolve.”
