Museum aan de Stroom

Antwerp, Antwerp Province, Belgium

Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) in Antwerp, Belgium, is a striking modern museum opened in 2011 in the Eilandje waterfront district, designed by Dutch architects Neutelings Riedijk as a 60-meter red sandstone tower resembling stacked shipping containers to evoke the area's maritime past.

Housing over 470,000 objects from former city museums like the Ethnographic and Maritime collections, its spiral escalator path explores Antwerp's global story through themed floors on power, imagination, world port, and superdiversity, with a visible "store" displaying 180,000 items and panoramic rooftop views of the Scheldt River.

Blending postmodern Art Deco with hand-cast aluminum "hands" symbolizing Antwerp's legend, it anchors urban regeneration, drawing 650,000 visitors yearly for exhibitions, a restaurant, and events amid the historic docks.
