Acht Antwerpse kunstenaars, impressed by Plantin

Maar liefst 14.000 houtsneden telt de collectie van het Museum Plantin-Moretus. Een bron van inspiratie voor al wie creatief is, een rijke voedingsbodem voor nieuwe kunst. Daarom vroeg het museum deze zomer aan acht Antwerpse kunstenaars om nieuw werk te maken, geïnspireerd door de eeuwenoude verzameling. De ambassadeurs maakten zes nieuwe, heel uiteenlopende creaties. We stellen ze graag aan je voor.
