A bigger house for Fritz's collection

Museum and residence reunited

Museum Mayer van den Bergh is expanding. The adjacent corner house, once the parental home of art collector Fritz Mayer van den Bergh and until 2021 Antwerp's district house, will become part of the museum. A new extension at the back of the building completes the whole. The museum will close from April 27, 2025, for necessary renovations, but don't worry, you can still visit (part of) the exceptional collection at the nearby Maagdenhuis. Reopening is scheduled for 2029.
