Snijders&Rockox House
Nicolaas Rockox and Frans Snijders: Citizens of the world – NT2 & OKAN
An art history museum that delves into the history of the Flemish identity, especially the period of the 16th and 17th centuries, is very inspiring for every visitor. It was not an easy period of time, just as it is not today, and the Southern Netherlands underwent an identity crisis in many areas. There was Spanish domination, which was accompanied by many wars and disagreements, religious unrest and cultural differences. But there were also citizens who sensitized others in order to preserve the uniqueness of our region. A man like Nicolaas Rockox, several times mayor of Antwerp, is certainly an example of this.

The Snijders&Rockox House therefore offers an insight into universal themes that were not only an important part of society in the 16th and 17th centuries, but are also still hot topics in every society today, such as multiculturalism, diversity, travel, poverty, import/export, food, etc. The works of art can be analysed. A specialised guide will accompany the OKAN/NT2 students around the Snijders&Rockox House and will enter into fascinating dialogues with them, using a simple language based on the participants’ knowledge of Dutch.
