CULTURE IS (NOT) HISTORY

Offered by Silvia Terrenzio

Throughout a cultural tour in the historic center of the city, one quickly comes across the many gallerists who are making space for inspiring artists here with a lot of new energy. For centuries, the historic center has been a fascinating setting for all the activities the city offers. The first point to make history and the last to enjoy it. Baroque and its 17th century heroes are still visible in the architecture and the many traces of arts and crafts made in and for the city of Antwerp. But does it all leave space for a new generation of artists? A new tour that offers visitors lots of food for thought. This history inspired tour will be provided by expert Silvia Terrenzio read more about Silvia here
