A date with history
The MAS is a true icon in Antwerp. The museum not only immerses you in history and culture of Antwerp, but also other corners of the world have a nice place there. A walking boulevard with undulating glass windows takes you all the way up, past the many floors that each tell their own story.
Studying with a view? The MAS shows you all the corners of the city. Literally. Install yourself at one of the gigantic windows, sit back, relax and enjoy the study view.
PLEASE NOTE: You are studying in the boulevard at level +4.
- Using earplugs or headphones is recommended.
- Toilets are on the +1 and ground floor.

Trying to look after your (mental) health during exam season? Or looking for somewhere you can go for a chat?
Here’s how to avoid stress
Time for a break
Tired of studying? Clear your head on the panoramic roof of the MAS. More in the mood for a cultural break? Request a wristband at check-in to visit the museum
Het Eilandje is buzzing! Take a walk around the beautiful boats bobbing around and marvel at the architecture of the Felix Warehouse. Chances are all that studying will make you hungry. Then pass by one of the restaurants. Enjoy the student menu at Ellis Gourmet Burger or Poule & Poulette. Prefer a sandwich? Oude Leeuw will help you out. In need of a good dose of caffeine? Visit Black & Yellow or café Storm.
