 No better place to contemplate Rubens’ genius and international fame than the new museum garden. He could also just be a normal person here at the same time. A father playing with his children and a bon vivant enjoying himself fun with his best friends.  

 Our guide takes you back in time and tells you about Rubens’ versatility, expertly translated into a garden design with a huge diversity of plants and colours. There are no fewer than 17,427 plants: tulips, laurels, oranges, pomegranates, figs, limes, carnations, roses, daffodils, lemons… From trees to climbing plants, water plants, shrubs and bulbs. A feast for the eyes in every season. The perfect cross-fertilisation between 17th-century grandeur and contemporary design.

Can I leave the museum and come back afterwards, e.g. to go and have lunch in the city?

Unfortunately not. Due to capacity and security reasons, it is not possible to interrupt your visit to Studio Rubens and the garden. You can visit the library and shop for free.

Do I need to print my ticket?

That’s not necessary. Save a tree and show us your ticket on your smartphone. 

I left my tickets at home. What now?

Don’t worry! Just let the front desk know. Your payment will be registered in our system at the email address of the person who purchased the tickets. 

I am on my way but am going to be late for my time slot. What should I do?

First and foremost, don’t panic. If there is enough space, we will move you to the next time slot. This may mean that your visit is shorter. 

Children can enter for free. Do they need a ticket then?

They do. When you order, select a ‘-18 years old’ ticket. That way, we know how many people are coming, and you know for sure that your child can get in.

Can our group go into the garden for a while?

Only with a valid ticket. Definitely check in advance which guided tours include a visit of the garden. You can find them here. 

We have an experienced guide in our group. Can he or she do the tour (with their own audio set)?

Unfortunately not. Only the official guides of the Rubenshuis are allowed to accompany a group. 

  • You will enjoy the magnificent museum garden with as many as 17,427 plants.
  • You experience Rubens’ genius and humanity in the seventeenth-century garden design.
