Kunstgalerij Isabella Brant
30 years ago Hans Beers moved from Holland to Antwerp, the city he knew as a student and where he used to go out with his friends. He was looking for a house where he could live and work and found the ideal place in the Isabella Brantstraat. This narrow one-way street behind the Antwerp Court of Justice (Gerechtshof) is named after Rubens' first wife and very appropriate location for Beers' gallery and paintings repair studio. Hans Beers also exhibits paintings of his own: his favourite themes are war and peace, creation and evolution of mankind, the grandeur of the Cosmos! Entrance is free.
Art nouveau was practically born in Brussels. Victor Horta (1861-1947), considered Brussels' master of the art, designed this house and lived in it until 1919; there are as many as 300 such buildings in the city. It was restored in 1991 and is now a museum. Horta is known for his design of buildings using industrial materials such as metal and iron, manipulated to look organic and natural. Admission: Adults EUR5; students, 60+ EUR4; school groups EUR3.
