James Ensor, the painter of masks and carnival, lived and worked in this house on the Vlaanderenstraat until his death in 1949; he inherited it from an uncle. After his death the house was left intact and became a museum. Since 2020 it also has an experience centre with five interactive rooms: you bring his paintings to life, see his personal belongings and masks, his letters and photos, and finish in his lounge and his studio just as he left them.
