In 2018 the youngsters of MAS in young hands took over a floor of the museum. A unique exhibition that revealed the animal side of the museum collection with creative materials and a wild programme.
A bit short of time, but in the mood for a spot of culture? Then book the quick tour and pay a short visit to the Boulevard. The escalator brings you to a different dimension on each level, and you end up on the roof of the MAS (if not the city itself…).
The MAS is a striking red building on the waterfront. What is the origin of this contemporary warehouse? What techniques did its architects use, and why? Ask all your questions during the MAS architectural tour.
Unable to choose? Then why not visit every floor of the MAS? Book the full MAS tour, accompanied by a passionate guide. You will receive detailed explanation about all the themed rooms, which will be available free of charge all day long.
Let a guide take you through the exhibition. During this group tour, you can reflect with each other and discuss the social questions raised by the theme.
Together with a guide you'll discover the world famous collection of Paul & Dora Janssen-Arts. This collection consists of more than 400 pre-Columbian objects in gold, jade, stone, textiles and shell.
The exhibition 'Cool Japan' takes you on a whirlwind tour of the global fascination for Japanese visual culture. With unique historical pieces, the MAS shows how Japanese icons such as Hello Kitty, Zelda and Sailor Moon are all part of a long tradition and how both new and old Japanese art continues to inspire the world.
CLOSED - Magritte, Bacon, Ensor, Moore, Jordaens, Rubens … These were just some of the world-famous names on display at the MAS. 'Rare and indispensable' brought a unique selection of masterpieces from the Flemish masterpiece list.
For the exhibition "Glasses", Luc Tuymans looks back at his oeuvre thematically for the first time. It includes portraits, of ‘nameless people’ and historic figures, and other works. The leitmotiv is a ‘pair of glasses’.
Feeling or showing compassion is typically human and has many sides. The expo shows how we portray this in different times, cultures and worldviews. And also, what its abrasive sides are.
