Is This the Most Progressive Museum in Europe?

The driving theme behind Belgium’s new Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Arts, or MIMA for short, is “culture 2.0.” In practice, this means art extracted from and inspired by such subcultures as skateboarding, surfing, tattooing, comic books, hip-hop, punk rock, and street fashion. Although the art itself still pushes some buttons, that isn’t what makes MIMA one of the most cutting-edge museums in Europe—it’s where it’s located.
