A new expo that immerses you in the rich world of martial arts. Antwerp has a very rich history of martial arts that still evolves with the city today. Together with Sporting A, ErfgoedLab delved into the Antwerp world of martial arts and collected many personal stories and objects.

The MAS is lending some objects from the archaeological Hasse collection and from the maritime collection for the exhibition “Vinland Saga” in Manderen-Ritzing (France). It is an exhibition that unites contemporary manga with historical pieces from various collections.
From 6 to 10 August, the MAS is hosting the third edition of MAS Darling — a multi-day festival featuring talks, workshops, performances and video that highlights and celebrates the history and diversity of the LGBTQI+ community.
In a world where dance is often viewed through the lens of music videos, films, and social media, this #MASmoves event invites you to look beyond. This evening goes beyond the screen and contemporary pop culture and delves into the origins of various dance forms.
Dance tells stories. It is often a way to depict stories, to mourn, to celebrate, to honor, and to remember. In every culture, on every continent, people use their bodies to express what words cannot convey.
Dance is a powerful tool that makes social themes tangible, exposes emotions, and creates space for change. An evening full of energy, expression, and new perspectives.
Thursday 18 December 2025 until Friday 19 December 2025 from 19:00 to 1:00
This fall, the MAS will be dancing! During four dance nocturnes, Antwerp dance communities ranging from Bollywood dance, tango, pole dancing to dabke and Gregorian dance will provide a program full of workshops, performances, and talks.
MAS and ErfgoedLab asked Valentina Valencia Alvarez to show how dance lives on social media: fast, fleeting, and shareable. From the stage to the palm of your hand: a digital performance to like, share, and imitate. Care to join us?
