Wonderful visit to restored home of Peter Paul Rubens, he certainly was not a "starving artist" during his life time.

Paintings are presented without any protective glass, so even... More

Even though the interesting house is VERY heavily restored, the artworks and furniture inside make a visit very worthwhile. If you like Rubens then you must see the house/museum. More

Probably one of the things you have to visit, lots of artwork and a few artifacts although not much of Rubens own work. Grounds are lovely, and check out The Oud Arsenaal bar just down the road. More

When we finally followed the street signs pointing in the direction of this incredible house, we were awed that not everyone attempts to see this great place. When purchasing tickets, get a combination ticket for this place... More
