The square in front of the museum features Dump Truck, a life-size sculpture made of corten steel in a Gothic style by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye, one of the most prominent neo-conceptual artists of today.

The sculpture playfully refers both to the construction of the ZILART district and to the industrial past of the ZIL site, where machines and industrial design were always central to the area's identity.

Delvoye is widely known for transforming industrial objects into elaborate Gothic structures, including concrete mixers, bulldozers, dump trucks, and other construction machinery. These works, which merge industrial design with architectural ornament, have become iconic within contemporary art.

Delvoye's works are held in major museum collections worldwide and have been shown at the Venice Biennale and Documenta IX in Kassel. Dump Truck is part of the ZILART Museum collection and marks the starting point of the museum's future public art program.
