Art Galleries in Antwerp - Self-guided Walk, Antwerp, Belgium

Het Zuid is a district in the south of Antwerp where you’ll find the city’s best contemporary art galleries, as well as some excellent art museums.

The area which now has a special appeal for art lovers, has gone through changes in recent years. These days it’s a trendy part of the city with some cool cafes and a lovely park.

In this article, I made a self-guided walk that will take you around the art galleries of Het Zuid on a route that I took myself.

There are more contemporary art galleries in Antwerp in other parts of the city of course, but I think if you want to spend about half a day exploring great art, you can do that very easily by following this route.

Antwerp is a flat and walkable city and walking distances between the galleries in this guide are short, making it ideal for a walk around Antwerp’s contemporary art hub.

If you need a break, there are plenty of places to eat and drink along the way, and also a lovely park.

The tour starts with the Tim Van Laere Gallery. It’s a large space with two rooms featuring contemporary art by both emerging and established artists.

Next is the Everyday Gallery. I liked the interior, it’s semi-industrial with large windows and a lot of daylight. This gallery represents emerging and mid-career artists. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
