The Making of the MAS

The New Antwerp Museum MAS has chosen four significant themes around Antwerp's connections to the rest of the world, themes about people, about their connections to each other and to the rest of the world. They appeal to everyone and affect every one of us. Demonstration of power (floor +4) with the collections Prestige and symbols. Metropolis (floor +5) with the collections Here and elsewhere. International port (floor +6) with the collections Trade and shipping. Life and death (floors +7 and +8) with the collections Men and gods, the under- and upperworld. This book on the Making of the MAS focusses on the building and it's architecture (Architecten Neutelings), urbanisation, scenography (B-architecten), and the 4 museums that will be brought together in this new museum and landmark.
