Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA)

Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) is the beating heart of the Flemish art scene. From the masterful Flemish Primitives and the lush Antwerp Baroque to the fresh, modern vision of Rik Wouters, Henri de Braekeleer, and René Magritte — the museum unites centuries of art in one breathtaking experience.

Two worlds meet under one roof: old masters shine in the stately historic halls, while modern masters find their place in the contemporary, light-filled new wing. The absolute highlight? The world’s largest collection of works by James Ensor — the visionary artist who bridges past and future.

But KMSKA is more than a museum: it’s a creative playground full of experiences. Its dynamic program sparks curiosity in young and old alike — digital or analog, to feel, to explore, or simply to enjoy. As a cultural hub, we actively seek crossovers with the broader arts scene. Time and again, we surprise visitors with what we proudly call The Finest Feeling — the compass that guides everything we do.
