Rubenshuis, Renaissance artist residence museum in Antwerp, Belgium.
The Rubens House displays Flemish Baroque paintings, period furniture, and decorative objects within a Renaissance-style mansion with Italian architectural elements.
Peter Paul Rubens designed and built this residence in 1610, transforming it into a palatial home where he created numerous masterpieces until his death in 1640.
The museum exhibits works from Rubens and his contemporaries across multiple rooms, demonstrating the collaborative nature of 17th-century Flemish art production.
Located at Wapper 9-11, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with closures on major holidays and specific dates around Easter.
