KMSKA

Antwerp


In a monumental neoclassical building topped with winged charioteer statues, KMSKA holds a world-class collection of artistic masterpieces. However, the gallery will be closed until at least 2019 while undergoing a total renovation.

The website www.hetnieuwemuseum.be charts the restoration progress.
