Heritage Day: At Home in the History of the Port!

Do you know why the Antwerp port was a second home to many people in the past? Discover it on April 21st as we once again take part in Heritage Day. During this special occasion, we open the doors of our warehouse ‘De Argentin’, where you can explore our fascinating sub-collection of port heritage. Through more than 1200 objects, we offer an exclusive glimpse into the rich history of the Antwerp port, accompanied by captivating stories and anecdotes told by our team of dedicated volunteers.

Stop by between 10:00 and 15:00 and uncover the hidden treasures of ‘De Argentin’ on Heritage Day!
