The MAS | Museum aan de Stroom is the main attraction of the trendy district het Eilandje. This top-flight museum is a must-see on every to-do list for Antwerp. Admire the architecture, visit the fascinating collection and enjoy a fantastic panorama of the city, port and river.
City on the river
Antwerp is THE city on the river Scheldt. At the place where city and port meet, you will find the impressive MAS. In the permanent and changing exhibitions, you will discover numerous stories about Antwerp, the river, the port and the world. Be guided up the escalators of the promenade and discover a different exhibition on each floor. At "Feast!", you will learn all about colourful rituals and global traditions. The collection of art from pre-Columbian America is sure to amaze you. The exhibition "World Port: about trade and shipping" tells you everything about the Port of Antwerp, the second largest in Europe. The temporary exhibitions are also always worth a visit.

More than museum halls alone
Visiting the MAS is quite an experience. As you explore the building from bottom to top, you can enjoy a different view on each floor. For example, more of Luc Tuymans' hidden artwork "Dead Skull" will gradually be revealed. And the highlight, of course, is the roof of the MAS. On the rooftop terrace, you can take in the entire city, the river and the port. That is what makes this an unmissable apotheosis of your visit.
