Type Activity

Pop-up exhibition: 'Perilous Printing'

Forbidden Books in the 16th Century

In the 16th century, Antwerp was at the centre of religious innovation, printing press activity and religious conflicts. Writing, printing and reading books was anything but innocent then - it could change lives as well as endanger them. The free mini-expo Perilous Printing shows the direct impact of the printed word on people in a changing society. 

Tuesday 8 July 2025 until Tuesday 29 July 2025 from 10:00 to 16:30

9 generations of stories in publishing house and home

In the Plantin-Moretus family, women most definitely stood alongside their husbands, and not behind them. From the 13th of September onward, the museum will uncover 300 years of stories from women in this house. Stories that urgently need to be told. About daughters who corrected proofs from an early age. About maids and ladies. About women who not only climbed the social ladders, but made the ladders too. Men are also welcome.

Saturday 13 September 2025 until Sunday 11 January 2026 from 10:00 to 16:30
