I visited my friend Alice in Antwerp last week. It has officially topped Edinburgh as my dream place to live now.. sorry Edinburgh. The architecture just drips with detail. This is De Kathedraal. A lill saucy that they charge you a fiver to pray it up with the big man but I totally recommend going. It houses a permanent collection of Peter Paul Rubens paintings. It is literally like a church within a church within a church.. Thee ole classic cruciform layout.
Grote Markt
This is the Momu Fashion Museum. All museums are only 1 euro if you're between the age of 18 and 26 (have to show ID). Me likey! The only thing that I didn't like about this place were the staff. Think of Wilhelmina Slater from Ugly Betty and multiply that by ten. This is also a fashion college so they exhibit students work downstairs which I enjoyed WAY more than the main exhibition (Stephen Jones, Hat Designer)
These are my favourite pieces. This college is meant to have a very high international standard which really shows through these first year works. How jealous are you?
