It's one of the prettiest museums, due to its architecture and its collection. do not forget to walk until the roof and enjoy the majestical 360° view on Antwerp and the river Scheldt. You can visit it the roof until 10:30 PM. And don't forget the "Port Pavilion", they give you a wonderful insight of the Antwerp Port.

Another museum nearby, with a tower that promises you a beautiful view on the harbour. It tells yu the story of the immigrants who tried their luck in the land of opportunities. Even my grandfather left with the Red Star Line boat to study in the USA in the '30ies of last century.

After 10 years of renovation, open again for the public… and it’s more than worth it. Enjoy the collection and let yourself get lost in the new - old architecture that has a conversation with the art.
