Pit Stop Permeke

Today Permeke is Antwerp's main library, but have you ever wondered why the staircase is so weird? And did you know that barrels were once made here that Elixir d'Anvers matured in? And that the library's name comes from Oscar Permeke, who ran a garage here?
You'll discover this and much more in this virtual tour. Scan the QR code at each photo and dive into the swirling past of this place!

You can explore the tour in order or view the pit stops separately. You will find the first pitstop at the Permeke Library reception desk.


Pitstop Permeke is a realization of Permeke Library
