Important Notice!
This year in September the museum will be open one weekend later.

Liberation Days, City of Antwerp.

On both days you can also take part in several walks and visit various exhibitions:
Remembrance walk with exposition continuous – Scheldekaaien

Exposition and tours - 'City at War. Antwerp, 1940-1945’: 9 - 17h – MAS
Free to join tour - The KMSKA during World War 2: 10h30 – KMSKA
In addition to the city's activities, in the Steenbergstraat 13 there is also an exhibition about “Antwerp under the V-Bombs”.
“‘"For the people of Antwerp, the war began with the liberation." The temporary exhibition “Antwerp under the V-bombs” tells the story of this terrible period for the people of Antwerp. Using rare and original pieces, models, documents, uniforms and a full-size replica V1 bomb, the visitor is taken back in time."
Perfectly situated between the other activities, this exposition seems to us a nice addition about an important theme. You can visit it continuously free and on your own from 10 to 17h00, a free guided tour at 10:00, 12:00 or 14:00 can be reserved on this website. In our archives there is an article with pictures of an earlier exposition (October 2023).
