Museum aan de Stroom, Postmodern museum building in Eilandje district, Antwerp, Belgium
The Museum aan de Stroom rises 62 meters with ten floors, constructed from red sandstone, glass, steel, and concrete along the Scheldt River.
The construction of this municipal museum began in September 2006 after Neutelings Riedijk Architects won the architectural competition in 2000.
The building facade displays 3,185 metal hands, referencing the traditional Antwerp hand-shaped cookies, and incorporates Renaissance-inspired medallion patterns.
The museum structure includes a restaurant, escalators connecting nine floors, wheelchair access, and remains open from Tuesday to Sunday between 09:30 and 22:00.
A glass spiral Boulevard connects each museum room with a quarter turn offset, leading visitors through exhibitions while offering progressive city views.
