Bring your class to the MAS

Teachers can act as a guide and provide a tour for their class at the MAS. Or they can book a guided tour for their class.

The MAS for children

The MAS for children? That is a 10-floor adventure from one surprise to another. With a special, customised package we ensure that your child has a great day.

COMPASSION

As of end-January 2025

A new exhibition will show how the idea of mercy is represented in art and culture: religious and non-religious objects, works of art, popular objects and decorative pieces, as well as music, stories and customs. Contemporary testimonies and critical voices show how topical the theme is and still remains. 

MAStour secondary education

Students will discover the traces that the world has left in Antwerp and the traces that Antwerp has left in the rest of the world, thanks to the port.

Provenance research of the Congo collection

The MAS preserves culturally and historically sensitive Congolese heritage. In what circumstances did this collection of approximately 5,000 cultural objects come into being? A two-year research project will map this out more clearly.

Anybody home?

Looking for the sewer crocodile, listening to talking tableware, playing board games or drawing on the walls.... In the playful new family exhibition "Anybody home?" you will explore the MAS collection together with your (grand) children. You reflect on what a 'home' means. And one thing can already be revealed: it is different for everyone. 

Freight

About the port, people and cargo

"Freight" is the story of a port in the long history of globalisation. From the Vikings to today. A story about glorious periods and extraordinary encounters, but also about the downsides of economic growth.

What's on display?

The MAS tells the story of centuries of contact between Antwerp and the world. You'll experience part of the tale on every floor.

Nightcap

Late-night visits with intimate concerts

Pay a late-night visit to the ‘To Antarctica’ exhibition. As a bonus, we will provide musical accompaniment. Curious about the rising star of the neo-soul scene? Or do you want to relive your childhood memories with a duo performing their personal ‘best of’? Whatever your preference, expect a delight for ears and eyes!
