Leave a bequest
Living on artistically after death? It's a great way to be remembered forever.
Take Florent of Ertborn (1784-1840). Nobody donated as many works of art to the museum after his death as he did. Since then, many collectors followed in Florent's footsteps and donated important works to the museum. Collector François Franck left us several Ensor works, Ludo van Bogaert ensured that the KMSKA today has the most representative ensemble of Rik Wouters in the world.
Even today, we still regularly receive bequests from people who care about the museum and our collection. Thanks to these contributions, it is possible to conduct research, produce publications, carry out restorations, organise exhibitions or expand our collection with new works of art.
Leaving a bequest yourself?
Would you like to include the KMSKA in your will? Then your love of art will live on. For generations. Moreover, you decide where (part of) your assets will end up after your death.
How do you leave a bequest?
Leaving a legacy can be done through a will that you have officially drawn up by a notary. In your will, you name the KMSKA as legatee. The bequest can consist of a sum of money, real estate, movable property
(e.g. an art collection or works of art) or a securities portfolio. In your interview with a notary, you can provide the following administrative details:
vzw Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen
company number 0725 891 877
registered office located at Plaatsnijdersstraat 2, 2000 Antwerp
account number: BE97 375 111 760 449
Gifts or legacies to the KMSKA benefit from a 0% rate of gift or inheritance tax. Thus, your donations benefit the museum in their entirety.
