Antwerp Art Galleries
(Antwerp, Antwerpen, Flanders, Belgium)
Art lovers holidaying in Antwerp will find that this is the perfect place for spending time enjoying the pastime of art appreciation, with countless galleries distributed around the city and world-famous local artists, such as both Van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens, an acclaimed local Flemish painter who was actually a resident of Antwerp for many years. Many outstanding collections of art works can be viewed at the permanent collections on display at galleries such as the Mayer van den Bergh Museum in Antwerp's Latin Quarter, and at the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen (KMSKA), where highlights include a bookstore, cafe, sculptures and paintings by Flemish masters, including Breughel, Delvaux and Van Eyck.
Not to be missed is a visit to the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) on Leopold De Waelplaats, without doubt one of the city's best art galleries. Many of the paintings exhibited here date back to the 15th century and include works by acclaimed Renaissance and Baroque artists, along with a small photography area. Those with more of an interest in modern paintings will find plenty of galleries to choose from, with highlights including the visual and media pieces at the MuHKA Contemporary Art Gallery, and also the avant-garde pieces at the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen, a popular museum situated in the South District, sandwiched by both the Scheldt River and the Waalsekaai River.
