The monument

The story of the Vleeshuis begins more than 500 years ago. For more than three centuries, the Vleeshuis served as the trade centre of the Antwerp butchers’ guild. After the French Revolution, painters, opera singers and wine merchants made use of the monument. Today the Vleeshuis houses a collection of almost 4000 music objects.
