What the experts agree on
MAS is Antwerp's striking riverside tower museum, its bold red-sandstone-and-glass design housing themed floors that trace the city's history and global connections through art, artefacts, and multimedia.
“ Floors are designed around big-idea themes using a barrage of media, from old master paintings through tribal artefacts to video installations.”
