Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, also known as KMSKA (Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen), is one of the leading art museums in Belgium. It stands in Antwerp, in the Flemish region, at Leopold de Waelplaats 1-9.
What you will see
The museum holds an extensive collection of Flemish masters, and visitors come to see the works of Rubens and Van Dyck, two of the names most closely linked with the city. Alongside the older paintings, the collection also includes contemporary art, so a single visit can move from the early modern period to work made much more recently.
What a visit offers
- A broad survey of Flemish painting, with the well-known names of the region represented.
- Contemporary pieces that set the older collection in a wider context.
- A museum suited to an unhurried visit, especially for those interested in the art of the Low Countries.
Because the museum is in the centre of Antwerp, it fits easily into a day spent exploring the city. The old town, the riverside and the city's many cafés and shops are all within walking distance of the galleries, so the visit can be combined with time in the streets around it.
