On May 30, 1640, Peter Paul Rubens passed away, and on June 2 he was laid to rest in St. James’ Church in Antwerp.

After a seven-year conservation and restoration campaign, the church can once again be admired in all its splendour. Rediscover this remarkable space and pay tribute to one of the greatest painters in history. ✨

Rubens’ burial chapel houses an extraordinary ensemble of artworks: from the Baroque altar designed by Antwerp sculptor Cornelis van Mildert to the marble sculpture of the Mater Dolorosa, attributed to Mechelen architect and sculptor Lucas Faydherbe — once a pupil of Rubens himself.

At the heart of the chapel is a work by Rubens’ own hand: ‘Virgin and Child Surrounded by Saints’ (c. 1630). He painted himself as Saint George: young, powerful and victorious. 🖼️

This is a Flemish Masters in Situ site. Discover unique artworks in the very places for which they were created.

There is no better place to experience Rubens than Antwerp — the city where the master lived, worked, and found his final resting place. ❤️

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began in 1866 as a national time of remembrance in the United States. 30 May was chosen because flowers would be in bloom across the country—ready to be placed on the graves of those who died in military service.

Today, it is observed on the last Monday of May, but its purpose remains unchanged.

To those who gave their all, we honour your service, remember your lives, and offer our deepest gratitude for your sacrifice.

🎨🌊For the 10th edition of The Crystal Ship, over twenty national and international artists transformed the city of Ostend into a living canvas filled with colour, stories, and imagination. From striking murals hidden between streets to monumental artworks facing the North Sea, every corner invites you to stop, look closer, and experience the city differently.

Curated by world-famous actor Matthias Schoenaerts, also known as Zenith, this anniversary edition celebrates art beyond museum walls — art that sparks conversation, connects people, and brings new energy to public space.

Come for the murals. Stay for the sea air, the delicious food, and the unexpected encounters along the way.

Every city has its myths. Antwerp's stands tall ... literally. 🌙

Meet Lange Wapper: Antwerp's legendary giant and trickster who's been part of the city's folklore for centuries. By day, he could look like anyone. By night, he stretched high above the streets, playing pranks on those who deserved a little humility.

His bronze statue stands right next to Het Steen, one of Antwerp's oldest landmarks. Step inside for the Visitor Centre, a panoramic rooftop terrace, and the best local gifts to take home. 🏰

Explore the old town, follow the river and let the legends find you. 💛

In the heart of Leuven, the vibrant university city of Belgium since 1425, everyone knows 'De Kotmadam'. 💛

She’s the iconic landlady who rents out a 'kot' (a student room) and, in true Leuven fashion, becomes part landlord, part mother figure.
With the university KU Leuven shaping the city’s lively, international atmosphere, Leuven feels welcoming, compact, and full of energy.

'De Kotmadam' has become a timeless local symbol. You’ll find her bronze statue on the bustling Oude Markt — often called the longest bar in Europe — quietly watching over the terraces, the chatter, and the student life that give Leuven its charm.

Take a seat beside her next time you’re here. You’ll feel instantly at home. ☕

💾 Save this for your trip to Flanders and experience the student culture of Leuven, right in the heart of Oude Markt.
