RENDEZVOUS WITH HISTORY
The MAS is a true icon in Antwerp. The museum not only immerses you in history and culture of Antwerp, but also other corners of the world have a nice place there. A walking boulevard with undulating glass windows takes you all the way up, past the many floors that each tell their own story.
Studying with a view, you can't say no to that? The MAS shows you all the corners of the city. Literally. Install yourself at one of the gigantic windows, sit back, relax and enjoy the study view. As a break you can climb the stairs towards the roof! Take a walk there and be surprised by the breathtaking view. More in the mood for a cultural break? You can! Then when you register, ask for a wristband to visit the museum.
