Who knows, you might have an object or document at home that links you to the Plantin-Moretus family. Think of a dusty book, an old print, a centuries-old artwork, a long-lost letter, or even an entire archive. How wonderful would it be to share it with curious visitors and historians? In doing so, you become forever connected to the museum and its past.

Practical information:

Call 03 221 14 50, send an email to museum.plantin.moretus@antwerpen.be, or use our contact form, preferably with a photo and short description of the object.

No one truly wants to be forgotten, right? By including the museum in your will, you leave a lasting proof of your life. It costs you nothing today, but it becomes highly valuable to the museum in the future. Your legacy creates opportunities to continue investing in historical research and to expand the collection with valuable artworks, documents, or publications.
