Mission statement
The MAS is a ground-breaking museum that tells the story of the people, the past, present and future of the city of Antwerp and the world.
The MAS is more than a museum
The MAS is more than a museum. It is a new city centre; a new meeting place where there is always something to see and do.
The MAS floor by floor
Below is an overview of what you’ll find on the various floors of the MAS. The permanent collection is housed in the Visible Storage area on +2 and on floors +4 to +8.
Contemporary artists in the MAS
The MAS tells the story of Antwerp’s relationship with the world, a relationship that has lasted for five centuries. That story is open-ended. The museum has asked contemporary artists to bring it right up to date.
Presentation
Antwerp-based architectural design bureau B-architecten was commissioned to design the displays for the galleries. First they came up with a master plan and then they drew up the designs for each floor.
