Fine Art at Schoonselhof

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) is reopening after a 10-year renovation. To celebrate this long-awaited reopening, Schoonselhof invites you to take a walk past the graves of 15 well-known and surprisingly lesser-known painters from the KMSKA collection.

Discover the stories behind the gravestones. Learn about the lives and work of the painters buried here and immerse yourself in the closely interconnected Antwerp art scene of the 19th and 20th centuries.
