Middelheim Museum
Heavy metal – secondary education (STEM, TSO, BSO & STW)
Heavy metal is a rock-solid tour at the Middelheim Museum that does not shy away from helping young people to enjoy art up close. On the contrary, it zooms in on the technical side of our metal sculptures and on the alliance between craftsman and artist. Heavy metal stands for dialogue, interaction and, above all, action

Heavy metal is comprised of twelve challenges and, just like Herakles, the youngsters have the mission to accomplish them. The guide will create the tour based on an open format. With the Middelheim app as a tool, the artists are given a voice. We will see preliminary designs, the technique of bronze casting and which processes are involved from idea to realisation.
Heavy metal is a tailor-made tour; in fact it’s a real eye-opener. It amazes and builds bridges between technique, art and young talent. This guided tour does not require prior knowledge about art, but it does require a background in metal. We focus on the following fields of study: STEM, TSO and BSO (technique, metal), STW.
