The port in pictures
Encounter the port as a small settlement and follow its ups and downs as it grows into one of the world’s largest international crossroads. This tour at the MAS shows the unique ship models, film footage, stories, old maps and tools that demonstrate the expansion of the port, the commerce, the shipping and the people that made it all happen.
Here you can smell the world
Antwerp’s growth was due in part to the Scheldt and the port. In the Middle Ages, the city was bursting at the seams. From the 16th century onwards, explorers sent exotic products and spices from Antwerp to the rest of the world. During this tour at the MAS you can walk past the smell boxes and inhale the scents of products that were imported via the port of Antwerp.
