Museum Vleeshuis displays musical instruments, craftsmanship and traditions from 800 years of musical life in Antwerp and Flanders. The museum collection comes to life in concerts, tours and workshops.
In the mini-exhibition TorenTunes, you can see some items from the museum's special music collection and learn everything there is to know about Antwerp Cathedral Tower and its carillon.
Instrument maker Bas Neelen is building a playable harpsichord for Museum Vleeshuis based on the example of a Flemish Masterpiece from the museum's collection: a 1615 harpsichord by Antwerp-based maker Andreas Ruckers. It is the very first time this more than 400 year-old instrument will be reproduced.
