To close the season in Antwerp, here are the latest tips.
In the museum of photography that I posted, there are some others that are worth visiting.
- Museum of Fine Arts (Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten): Open since 1810 has a beautiful collection of pintutas, drawings and sculptures dating from the fourteenth and twentieth centuries. You can see masterpieces by painters such as Rubens, Wouters, Van der Weyden, Memling, Fouquet and Van Dyck. The building itself is a work of art. It's worth going there. (Address: Leopold of Waelplaats 1-9).
- Museum of Contemporary Art - MUHKA: large exhibition space for modern art from 1970 to today. When I visited the collection was changing, therefore, had not seen much to see. Despite this, the museum is very reputable. Closes on Mondays. (Address: Leuvenstraat 32). The color photo today is inside the museum.
- Palace of Justice: it is strange for a travel tip, but this is the same. And even stranger is that the Palace of Justice is a very modern building, completed in 2006, with a very modern architecture. Look at the fins of the building in black and white photo of the post. Many people call him "the sharks".
- Museum of Fashion - MoMu: Antwerp is also one of the fashion capitals of Europe. There's even a museum of fashion. Admission is free and there is also a library. (Address: Nationalestraat 28)
These four attractions and the museum of photography are close to each other. Well worth the walk. And when you reach the Grote Markt, make sure you take some more photos and enjoy the atmosphere of the square.
If after knowing all this, you still hold to go to the ballad, Antwerp is the right place. They say it's the best party of Belgium. Enjoy!
Here it goes the final tips from Antwerp:
- Royal Fine Arts Museum - with paintings by famous artists from fourteenth to twentieth centuries.

Marcio,
The Antwerp is very close to us here ... 'and almost the backyard of our house ... hehehehe
Let relatively followed.
I visited her almost everything that you showed here, but thought it was beautiful Museum Maritimo.
There la a street with old houses and so "chic" that I've photographed and posted in the beginning of my blog. I love seeing how these constructions, I am fascinated, and every time we go into it, I have to just pass on that street.
A hug,
Susana
It hurts to have a "backyard" of these, right?
The maritime museum is really beautiful!
Abs!

there are also people who called the courthouse "the palace hedgehog"
