KMSKA - Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp

Very nice museum to enjoy works of Dutch masters as well as some contemporary pieces. Liked how both old and contemporary art intertwined within the exhibition with works from different periods displayed next to each other and grouped by theme and central motifs showcasing how they evolved through the time. We visited on a weekday and there were only few visitors so we had a chance to explore the art in tranquil atmosphere that elevated our visiting experience.

An absolute "must" for all art 🎨 lovers. This amazing museum hosts an impressive collection of paintings from late middle age to contemporary art by the main flamish masters, Peter Paul Rubens above all, with some tribute to some foreign ones. Very interesting as well the modern art section. The architecture of the museum itself is very impressive. Very well organised with services, audio guide, accessibility, gift shop, cafeteria & restaurant. Last but not least the ticket is included in the Antwerp City Pass. Absolutely recommended 👌

The entrance is impressive with its long central widows and vast marble floors. We came across areas of modern art but in general the gallery’s were poorly labeled. The Brogel section was easily found and contained many good works.

KMSKA is a stunning museum, both in terms of architecture and its impressive collection. Inside, you’ll find masterpieces by Flemish greats like Rubens and Van Dyck, alongside surprising modern and contemporary works. The layout is spacious and well-curated, allowing you to really take in the art without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. I recommend at least 2–3 hours to fully enjoy it!

Just visited the most incredible museum in Belgium! The curation of the paintings, installations, and statues is truly top-notch. Every piece is thoughtfully placed, creating a seamless experience that makes you appreciate art in an entirely new way. If you haven’t been yet, it’s a must-visit!

Beautiful museum, but you also have to walk around the outside perimeter to enjoy the sculptures. All are beautiful, and each one unique, creating an interesting journey as you walk around.

Great collection and so interactive!!! I love all the installed touchpads where you can learn more about the artwork, the artist, and play some small games. I would love to visit again!! Totally worth the 20 euros.

Gained quite valuable perspective. Discovered Rik Wouters. Learned Van Dyck studied at Rubens’ atelier. Strongly suggest to spare time despite I confused about 500 years old pices next to 75 years old and some irrelevant multimedia installations at Rubens’s hall etc.

This is an update.I also appreciated its fine collection of 19th Century Oil Paintings primarily by Belgian Painters.Favorites included Franz Von Leemputten's"Distribution of Bread In Village"(fine Naturalism),Alexandre Cabanel's"Cleopatra Testing Poison On Condemned Prisoners"(Oriental Theme),Emile Claus'"Flax Weeding In Flanders",Eugene Laermans'"Blind One",Vincent Van Gogh's"Potato Harvesters",and James Tissot's"Embarkation in Calais". As for 20th Century Paintings,I especially appreciated Henry Van De Velde's"Woman At Window",Jean Brusselmans'"Spring",Amadeo Modigliani's"Seated Nude",Theo van Rhysellberghe's"Marie Sethe,Future Wife of Henry Van De Velde",Paul Delvaux'"Pink Bows"(quality Surrealism),Rene Magritte's"Statement of September",and James Ensor's"Carnival in Binche"and"Intrigue". The time that I spent at the KMSKA Art Museum was very rewarding.I spent 2 days at this wonderful art museum.
