Kick-start your weekend every Thursday

Thursday nights at KMSKA are a new tradition. The museum is open every Thursday evening until 10pm for anyone with an entrance ticket. KMSKA LATE gives you chance to stroll around galleries at dusk to enjoy the collection. Chance to peep behind the scenes to learn about how the museum works. And to enjoy both a cool drink and contemporary interpretations of our art. KMSKA LATE is your special chance to dream. Week after week after week...

Spend your evening with Rubens

Rubens, Bruegel, Ensor, Van Eyck, Jordaens and Fouquet are just some of the artists whose work takes on an extra dimension at dusk. KMSKA LATE is the perfect moment for an intimate encounter with Fouquet’s Madonna. To spend some quiet time with Rubens. Or for your selfie with Rembrandt or Magritte to go viral. Experience our collection more intensely than ever.

Spice up your viewing experience 

There’s a lot more to KMSKA than simply looking at things. This is a place where artists meet. Where they create new masterpieces. Take our Artists in Residence. They surprise and intrigue our visitors with contemporary interpretations of our art in words, music, images and performances. All inspired by KMSKA’s collection, building and countless stories. Add extra spice and intensity to your art experience! Check out our KMSKA LATE calendar!

Which cocktail will you choose first? 

Our pop-up Madonna Cocktail Bar puts everyone in the mood for art. Treat yourself to a colourful drink with live music in the monumental De Keyser Room. You don’t even need a museum entrance ticket. Just step inside and enjoy. It's the Finest Afterwork Drink in town!

Fun in the museum

Feeling a touch of evening inspiration? You can count on our regulars at KMSKA LATE. Come and do some drawing in the museum. Copy details or entire masterpieces with KMSKA draws! Or maybe you’d prefer to get creative yourself with the help of our workshop guides at the Open Studio? Whichever you choose, fun is guaranteed!
