Museum to Scale 1/7 is an initiative by Ronny Van de Velde, designed by artist Wesley Meuris, in which the museum, in true postmodern tradition, is both subject and object. Museum to Scale comprises over one hundred miniature rooms, each at a 1/7 scale, dedicated to Belgian artists and Belgian artistic movements. After a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and his "Boîte-en-valise," the tour begins with Grandville's illustrations for "Gulliver's Travels," the renowned book in which scale plays a significant role. Thematic and historical ensembles focusing on Symbolism, Surrealism, photography, the Cobra movement, abstract art, and minimal art lead to Belgian contemporary artists, each of whom has designed their own room in an original way.

Wesley Meuris (born 1977 in Lier) is a Flemish visual artist known for his deconstructive large-scale installations. He lives and works in Mortsel, Belgium.
