In one of Antwerp's icons
The MAS is more than a museum. A walkway with undulating glass sections leads you all the way to the top. On each floor awaits a new story about Antwerp, the river, the port and the world. Be enchanted by the City’s largest museum and discover why the locals are so fond of it. Students without vertigo can also enjoy great roof-top views. Those who prefer to have both feet firmly on the ground can enjoy ‘Dead Skull’, the work of art by Luc Tuymans on the square in front of the museum. Ask for your entrance ticket when you check-in, so you can visit the museum during your breaks.
NB! You are studying in the boulevard.
--> Using earplugs or headphones is recommended!
--> Study area: +2 boulevard
--> Take some time off and visit the free Visible Storage (+2)
