Customer Reviews
This museum is a must on your Antwerp itinerary. I spent 6 hours here and intend to go back. There’s so much more here to see than you expect. The Rubens and Van Dycks are beautiful to spend time with. All the art works are well spaced out. The modern art collection is a lovely change from the works of earlier centuries making this a comprehensive museum. The temporary exhibition was excellent. Staff are very friendly and helpful (like all Belgians!!). The building is a stunner in the Antwerp landscape. The modern extension is cool too - especially that famous internal staircase! Just go!
Fabulous museum with old masters and contemporary artists' extensive collection. I especially loved that there weren't too many people in the way of my viewing beautiful art! :D A must visit when in Antwerp!
Really enjoyed the painting collection of the second floor (old masters). Also enjoyed the way the collection of the museum is curated. Based on reviews expected more famous works, but it's ok. The elevators system was a bit confusing at first, similarly the building structure is not exactly perfect for the one way art walk - you have to do back and forth to view and enjoy all. There was some kind of filming happening onsite, so was a bit weird walking around trying not to disturb the filming crew. A bit pricey for tge collection covered.
