Please note

The museum is closed for restoration

The Vleeshuis Music Museum is closed for restoration, but we do occasionally organise activities at the museum. You can also visit us at other locations in Antwerp. Read more

Restauration

Ready for the future

The restoration plans for the Vleeshuis ('Butcher's Hall') are shifting up a gear. If everything goes according to plan, the works will start in 2025. Both the exterior shell and the interior of the monument and museum are being thoroughly addressed. This will include a new staircase, a reception area, a City Hall and an all-new music museum. All seven floors will become accessible to the public.

Museum closed? You can still visit us

TowerTunes

A small exhibition about grand sounds

In the mini-exhibition TowerTunes, you can see some items from the museum's special music collection and learn everything there is to know about Antwerp Cathedral Tower and its carillon.

The music room of Gaspar Duarte

At the Snijders&Rockoxhuis, you can discover a music room that brings the sound of 17th-century Antwerp back to life.

Carillon Concerts

Sound in the city? That must be the carillon!

Our city carillonneurs Koen Van Assche and Liesbeth Janssens play the carillon throughout the year. In this way, they keep the tradition alive.
