Museum Vleeshuis Antwerp

The Museum Vleeshuis is housed in an impressive late Gothic building from 1504, one of the most special heritage locations in Antwerp. Originally it served as the guild house of the butchers; today it showcases a unique collection of historic musical instruments, including harpsichords, organs, and carillon bells. The focus is on six centuries of music history in Antwerp.

Accessibility is partial. The main entrance on the Vleeshouwersstraat is step-free via an adapted side entrance, and a lift connects most of the floors. The central nave on the first floor is spacious and level, ideal for wheelchair users. Some smaller side rooms and the cellar with vaults are less well reachable due to narrow passageways or a stair. An adapted toilet is present. An audio version and music fragments accompany the visit.

The surroundings of the Vleeshuis are level but consist of historic cobblestones; the Grote Markt and the MAS are a short distance away. Disabled parking spaces can be found in the Oudaan car park or on the Grote Markt. Visitors with a disability and their companion receive free admission.
