Rubens House (Rubenshuis)

Reviewed By MinkusMe

Amazing to be able to walk around Reuben's house - it is opulent and has a huge garden. Reuben's life as an artist is intrinsic to the building so is interesting from this perspective, as well as the art on display. If you are just interested in seeing a beautiful town house from the 17th Century, it is worth a visit for this.

Museum Mayer van den Bergh

Mayer van den Bergh was an avid art collector in the 19th century, and the best of his collection is displayed in this small museum.

Reviewed By CarolienBAC - Leuven, Belgium

Not a very famous museum, this one, but well worth the visit. What makes this museum interesting, is the combination of the building with the eclectic art collection of Fritz Mayer van den Bergh, who sadly died before he could finish his dream of a museum of his own. Luckily his loving mother was up to the task and build this museum to commemorate her son. The collection is very interesting in itself, but thé star of the show is the world-famous painting of Mad Meg by Pieter Bruegel. I'm sure you can look one hundred times at this painting and still discover new things. Do yourself a favor and visit this museum.

Rockoxhuis

Reviewed By DanW440 - Portland, United States

This is definitely much smaller than most art museums but superbly housed in the original 17th century house of a former Antwerp mayor. It has a nice collection of baroque paintings including Brueghel, Jordaens and other masters. It's an opportunity see the way of life of how the upper class lived centuries ago, through the the original house, the garden, and beautiful pieces of furniture. It's close to the city center and worth taking the time to experience.
