Photo Print: "A" polis by Piet Flour

Antwerp seen from inside the MAS. Loved the diffused light and deformations caused by the special windows of the MAS architecture. To get as well inside as outside I made a photo merge from 6 photos. MAS The Museum aan de Stroom (MAS; Dutch for: Museum on the stream) is a museum located in the Eilandje district of Antwerp, Belgium, opened in May 2011. It is the largest museum in Antwerp. The 60 metre high MAS, was designed by Neutelings Riedijk Architects. The façade is made of Indian red sandstone and curved glass panel construction. The MAS houses 470,000 objects, most of which are kept in storage. The building replaces the Hanzehuis which used to stand on exactly the same spot. International merchants worked and receded at the Hanzehuis. In the nineteenth century a fire destroyed the building.
