various locations (art galleries and art spaces), Antwerp
About the project
More than 30 Antwerp art galleries, art spaces and M HKA show what connects them. From 11 May to 30 June 2026, works from the M HKA collection can be seen in galleries and art spaces across the city. Together, we highlight the importance of this unique collection: as the heart of the museum, a motor for the arts field and an important asset for Antwerp. Also on view during Antwerp Art Weekend.
