★★★★★a month agoA must for any art lover when visiting Antwerp! Honestly this was one of my most fun and interesting museum visit. Do try to visit on Thursdays during their late openings for empty art spaces and wonderful concert ✨ The exhibition themselves are uniquely arranged, mixing modern with old masters through themes. They have fun ways of displaying connected to the pieces as well!

★★★★★5 months agoBeautiful museum. It has definitely gained in appeal since the renovation. The temporary Magritte exhibition is excellent, although it was far too crowded. A lovely building with an interesting permanent collection - highly recommended. Tip: improve the entrance; it’s currently a rather sad side entrance and unworthy of a museum of this stature.
