Museum aan de Stroom (MAS)

This museum opened in 2013 and displays the history of the Red Star Line, a Belgian navigation company offering connections between Antwerp and New York. This enabled large-scale emigration to the United States. The museum collection is based on the stories of people who travelled on this line, including Albert Einstein and Irving Berlin.

A beautiful mixed gothic and baroque church formerly part of a nunnery. Noted for its Calvary monument. It is a short distance north of the Grote Maarkt on Zwartzustersstraat.

Literally, the "Meat house". It was built as the guild hall for the butchers. Every day tonnes of meat changed owners here. The building is famous for the original masonry made to resemble stacks of bacon (switching between white stones and red bricks). It now houses a museum, of which the main part comprises a musical instrument collection, including some examples of old harpsichords built by the local Ruckers family.

This is a rather small medieval castle on the banks of the river Schelde. It used to function as a city fortification and housed a naval museum. The Visitor Center and attraction The Antwerp Story are located here since 2021. There is a panoramic terrace and the starting point of the Wandelterrassen, a scenic boardwalk.

Unlike the cathedral, this is a Baroque church. With a safe and minimal exterior, you would not know the beautiful decorations (done by Rubens' studio) are inside. It is on the picturesque square Conscienceplein.

Museum devoted to graphics. Permanently Featuring works by Francisco Goya, Félicien Rops and Edvard Munch. There are also temporary exhibitions.
