This Weekend in Antwerp: 25th, 26th & 27th January

By Nessascityblog @nessascityblog

Friday

If you are feeling in need of a bracing cycle ride to round off your week, join Critical Mass: assembling at 6pm on Theaterplein for an hour’s cycling en masse through the city (pic right, from Critical Mass Facebook page).

For those who prefer a stroll, explore the Borgerhout area through the lens of its art works: Borger #15 is an art event where participating galleries, within walking or cycling distance of one another open for the evening. The galleries open for Borger #15 are Plus One Nieuw Zuid, Sofie Van de Velde Gallery Nieuw Zuid, Tim Van Laere Gallery, Tique, NK Gallery, Ruimte Morguen, IBASHO gallery, trampoline, LLS Paleis and they are open between 6pm and 9pm.

Saturday

MAS

Avoid the cold by heading to MAS museum  for an afternoon of social  game and game-playing. This a free event, aimed at families and kids, and it’s on from 10am -5pm.

Monthly show Swaajp Invites is on at BATS Little Theatre on Paardenmarkt. Beata Rozalska from Poland is the impro group’s guest performer this week. Tickets available here.

Sunday

There’s a mega indoor rommelmarkt at Kinepolis Event centre, from 10am -6pm. 3 euros entry

After the snow this week, it’s going to continue to be cold, with the possibility of snow and showers over Saturday and Sunday

Miscellaneous

Exhibit from Wonderkamer at DIVA museum

I recently went to DIVA Diamond Museum for the first time to catch the Axel Verwoordt exhibition:  WonderKamer. It’s magical, so if you want to stay out of the cold and see some beautiful, eccentric, curious and elegant objects and art works, I thoroughly recommend it.

Next Wednesday is the last Wednesday of the month, meaning these Antwerp city museums are free.

Last week I published a special post by Daniel McBrearty. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is a lively and fascinating account of the history, ideas and current expo behind the Plantin Moretus museum on the Vrijdag Markt: How An Antwerp Immigrant Changed The World In 1550.

Legends of Liondance continues at Permeke library as part of the approaching Chinese New Year festivities. This is a colourful display of the lions which lasts until 10th February, and is free.
