This month, the Rubens House was alive and kicking again. Under the banner 'Rubens is not at home', a gang of young artists took over. Check out our photo reportage!

We are renovating

The Rubens House renews

The museum is temporarily closed. Experience twice as much Rubens after the renovation

Rubens will enjoy a new city palace. In the coming years, we will prepare the historic artist's home for the future.

Renovating a historic artist's home is easier said than done. Before the renovation can begin, the collection has to move. Where do you move the art objects? What are the risks of such a move? And what about transport? Behind the scenes, we are working hard to keep everything on track. You can read how we do that here.

Fund a flower in Rubens’s new garden

To plant the new museum garden, the Rubens House is counting on helping hands. Fund a flower in Rubens’s new garden. You can purchase bulbs, perennials, shrubs and trees from 10 euros.

The masterpieces on loan from the Rubens House

During the closure, the Rubens House will be a guest in other museums. Discover here where you can view the collection of the Rubens House.

Thank you, you were fantastic!

The Rubens House is closed. But that didn't happen without a party. With a richly filled program we said goodbye. In style, that's how Rubens would have wanted it.
