The story of the site

African masterpiece at BRUSK

The Averbode altarpiece

In 1873, the Antwerp Museum of Antiquities purchased a 16th-century retable of the Averbode Abbey, depicting the Lamentation of Christ. 150 years later, it is given on long-term loan to the abbey and thus returns home.

FREE ENTRANCE | De Wondere Pluim is an annual writing contest for elementary school students. Their stories must be inspired by an object from the MAS collection.
