Plan your visit
The show must go on! And Rubens, who was exceptionally productive, wouldn't have wanted it any other way! So a new presentation begins every half an hour, alternating between Dutch and English. Choose a time and report to reception 15 minutes beforehand. From start to finish, your stay in the Rubens Experience will last between 30 and 45 minutes. Make sure that you also pay a visit to the recreated baroque garden and the library.
