The CAP is a museum complex in the heart of downtown Mons, consisting of 3 entities:
- The Museum of Fine Arts
- The former Jean Lescarts house, recently renovated to house the Collections House, a museum site dedicated to the history of Mons through the town's collections;
- The "Buttery pear Tree" garden, which combines a stone collection, social spaces, and permaculture, linking the first two entities.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Mons highlights the incredible richness of the city's collections through its temporary exhibitions. It explores regional artists and movements (École de Mons (2019), Anto-Carte (2021)), and offers high-quality international exhibitions (Vincent Van Gogh (2015), Niki de Saint-Phalle (2018), Roy Lichtenstein (2020), Joan Miró (2022), Auguste Rodin (2024)). Today, the Museum of Fine Arts in Mons is embarking on a new direction, asserting an essential role within the city. With the "Buttery pear Tree" garden and the Collections House , the museum is freeing itself from its four walls, opening up to the city with its historical, urban, memorial, and societal challenges.

Es gibt zwei unterschiedliche Teile. Das ehemalige Kloster erzählt die Geschichte von Mons mit einem geografischen Sinn und seinen Gärten. Der neue Teil ist ein Gebäude mit temporären Ausstellungen, das aber in gewisser Weise mit der Stadt verbunden ist. Das Personal ist freundlich.

Alors oui, lieu important etc mais decue , la première fois que je m’y rend de Bruxelles, jour officiellement ouvert, et bien les portes sont fermées car le bourgemestre ou échevin je sais plus a monopolisé le lieu, pas très pro de pas l’annoncer sur Google je ne visite pas leur site car j’ai une carte musee.

Sehr freundliches Personal, das uns beide herumführte und uns weitere Tipps zu Mons gab. Die Ausstellung über die Geschichte von Mon war sehr interessant. Auch die andere temporäre, die Bilder von Mons von damals und heute in der gleichen Perspektive zeigte.
