About the Museum aan de Stroom
The Museum aan de Stroom, or MAS, is a museum on the river Scheldt, in Antwerp's Eilandje district in Belgium. The name is Dutch for Museum by the Stream. It opened to the public on May 17, 2011, and it is Antwerp's largest museum. The city council decided in 1998 to build it at the Hanzestedenplaats, and the first brick was laid on September 14, 2006.
Neutelings Riedijk Architects designed the 60 m (200 ft) tower. Its facade is Indian red sandstone with curved glass panels, and its style is postmodern Art Deco. The museum stands where the Hanzehuis once stood, a place where international merchants worked and lived until a fire in the nineteenth century destroyed the building.
Of the 470,000 objects in the MAS, most are kept in storage. Its first visitors' gallery, the "visible store," holds 180,000 items. The collection focuses on Antwerp and how it connects to the world. It spans maritime objects documenting international trade and shipping, the history, art and culture of Antwerp as a port city, and the art and culture of Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Oceania.
