MAS Museum
Hanzestedenplaats 1, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium
About the company:
The MAS Museum is a futuristic museum complex built on the site of an abandoned dock, opened to the public in 2011 after five years of construction. The abbreviation MAS stands for "Museum aan de Stroom", which translates as "Museum on the River". The building is really on the river.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the museum, in addition to art exhibitions, is the Shipping Museum. The collection of the museum has more than 6000 exhibits, including archaeological finds of ancient America, works of stones, terracotta, jewelry and others. In addition to permanent exhibitions, temporary exhibitions are held on the third floor of the building. The building of the museum has a bizarre shape and design, it is extremely difficult to confuse it, and therefore it is certainly worthy of a visit.
Opening hours of the museum:
W - Pt: 10 to 17
B-S: 10 to 18
Closed on Mondays and especially important holidays: 1 January, 1 May - Ascension Festival, 1 November and 25 December.
