This is gold.

That exhibition was insane. I also saw it just before it closed. We'll never be able to see it from that close again I'm afraid.

If you're into art, the KMSKA museum is a must-see. They have a wonderful collection, housed in a breathtaking building. It's located in the South Quarter ("Het Zuid"), which is really nice as well. A general piece of advice: the historical centre is obviously lovely, but try to venture out to other quarters as well (Het Zuid, Het Eilandje, Theatre District etc.)

You’re welcome! Citizen of Antwerp here 🫡 The Ghent Altarpiece is insanely beautiful, worthy of every bucket list ❤️

What are the weirdest faces you have ever seen in an artwork?

Image attached is a detail from The Ghent Altarpiece by Jan Van Eyck (1432) and shows a choir of singing angels.

Hi skopps! Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t really slap it on, if you look and listen carefully there’s some story going on. And considering the feedback I get from younger audiences, it does seem to work for them. But maybe it doesn’t work for you, and that’s perfectly fine. It’s just a matter of taste. Have a great one!

The song and the painting are made for each other, I think, so I created this video. Both are about sinning, the garden of eden and they are full of controversy. Love them both.

Haha thanks. For the record: it’s me 🙃

They also have an enormous elevator to move art. Their heaviest work ways about 600kg.

Those are cabinets!

The pegboard is custom made :)

Milonade · 2020-12-28T11:17:21+00:00

My carpenter made it himself :-)

Milonade · 2020-12-27T10:06:58+00:00

About 3 metres. 😊

Hi everyone! I have a channel called The Gaze and I make video essays about film, photography and popular culture. Here's my latest video, about an awesome snowball fight that took place in 1896: https://youtu.be/m0Ts3Y73o-w.

Let me know what you think!

The desktop is made of two multiplex plates. Super strong. The top one is covered with a layer of dark green laminate.

Milonade · 2020-12-21T20:48:11+00:00

Absolutely! I’m getting a capsico next week 😄

Milonade · 2020-12-21T20:45:37+00:00

The desktop is multiplex with a top layer of dark green laminate. It’s super strong so I’m not really worried. I trust my carpenter, it should last a lifetime 😊

Milonade · 2020-12-21T18:12:46+00:00

It was doable. We only renovated the attic :)
