Beautiful and moving little museum with a fantastic art collection. Staff are super friendly and helpful, and warned me there aren’t signs in English – but there’s a really thorough PDF guide on the website which I downloaded! It has loads of info on the building, the artworks and of course the history of the orphanage itself. Between that and Google translate I was all set! It’s only small but I really...

A small museum in a lovely old building which was originally a foundling home and then was the welfare centre for Antwerp. It has paintings, but it is mainly of historical interest for its photographs and objects from various orphanages. There is also a baby box, a reminder of the times when many women were unable to keep or care for...

A small museum, only on the ground floor. It used to be an orphanage for girls, due to lost of documentations, they don’t have enough information about how the orphanage worked and how the kids were treated and where are they now etc. It showcases some art collections and uniforms of the orphanage.

​Op dit moment toont het Maagdenhuis de tentoonstelling 'Publiekslievelingen , in samenwerking met het Museum Mayer van den Bergh. Ik was eigenlijk aangenaam verrast ! Het gebouw zelf is al een bezoek waard, met zijn prachtige, authentieke gevel en de kamers die zo typerend zijn voor die tijd . Bekende meesters zoals Pieter Bruegel de Oude (met zijn beroemde 'Dulle Griet'), Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling en Jeroen Bosch . Ook de audiotour, waarbij hedendaagse kunstenaars hun persoonlijke visie geven op de oude werken, maakt dit een unieke ervaring . Wat mij ook opviel was de leuke kleine shop met allerlei spulletjes . Het personeel vond ik persoonlijk zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam .
