Renovation
Program However, visitors the city will be disappointed to learn that the museum is closed until the end of 2017 due to major renovations. In the meantime the museum's website has an online virtual tour of some of its rooms and they have uploaded a large selection of their important works ready for viewing. Additionally many of the paintings are being hosted in other exhibitions and project venues in and around Antwerp. The best selection from their modern art collection will be put on display at Koningin Fabiolazaal (Jezusstraat 28), including works by Ensor, Modigliani and Wouters, as well as paintings by figurative artist Fernando Botero (b.1932), painter and sculptor Constant Permeke (1886-1952), landscapist Emile Claus (1849-1924) and painter and etcher Henri De Braekeleer (1840-88). Also the Municipal Museum in Lier will temporarily exhibit the works of Flemish Renaissance painter and printmaker Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525/30-69) until 2017. |
