MAS — Museum aan de Stroom

Antwerp's history stacked ten storeys high, with a free rooftop view over the docks.

The building itself is a spiral: an escalator route winds up through the floors and you can walk to the roof without a ticket. Collections cover the port, world cultures and the city's relationship with the sea.

Among us. Exploring queer spaces
Feb 26, 2027 — Aug 30, 2027

An exhibition about living together and meeting one another: what it takes to be yourself in your own body, in your relationships, in public and behind closed doors — and for whom that is still not self-evident.
