A museum like a 19th-century warehouse
Like the former warehouses around the MAS, the 60-metre-high MAS tower consists of stacked spaces. The seven rooms thus lead you step by step up to the top.
A Boulevard with a view
The Boulevard runs like a glass spiral past seven museum rooms, each offset by a quarter turn from the room below it. Escalators take you past all nine floors to the top. Along the way you will discover the rich history of Antwerp in the world and the world in Antwerp, and the Boulevard will also treat you to a wonderful view of the city, which changes constantly as your rise higher. And at the top, on the roof terrace, a 360-degree view of the city, the port and the world awaits you.
Neutelings Riedijk Architects
This unique building was designed by the world-famous Neutelings Riedijk Architecten, who won an architectural competition in 2000. The panel of judges was delighted with their warehouse, which uniquely represented the historical function and atmosphere of the location. Their ingenious vertical city tour, which offers an unprecedented look at every angle and corner of the city and port, also appealed to the panel.
