Out and about in Antwerp

The Museum Plantin-Moretus is right in the heart of Antwerp. Near the Cathedral of Our Lady, but also within walking distance of the Fashion Museum and the vibrant shopping district. There’s plenty of other things to discover whenever you visit the Museum Plantin-Moretus.

Welcome to Plantins house

In 1576, Plantin relocated his printing works to the Vrijdagmarkt. His family lived and worked there for three hundred years. They converted the ‘Gulden Passer’ (‘Golden Compasses’) into a beautiful mansion. The Moretus family cherished their printing works, which had become a part of Antwerp’s heritage. The last owner, Edward Moretus, sold the house to the City of Antwerp in 1876.
