Research and conservation
The KMSKA as the knowledge center
Ensor, Rubens & the Antwerp baroque
With the largest Ensor collection in the world, we play a pioneering role in James Ensor's research into the creative process. In the research on Rubens and the Antwerp baroque, we form an important pivot, together with our Antwerp partners.
We have been the driving force behind the Rubensbulletin. In our online catalog you can consult the volumes published from 2007 to 2012.
Restoration
The museum's restoration studio is running at full speed. A team of conservators works at a solid pace to preserve and restore the works of art from the collection. After all, they have to shine again at the reopening of the museum building.
Collaborations
As a scientific institution, KMSKA cooperates with universities, research centers, scientific working groups and numerous (international) museums. We work together with, among others, the University of Antwerp, the Rubenianum and the Flemish Art Collection.
Library and Archive
Library and archive of KMSKA support art historical research on and around the museum collection. We are there primarily for curators, researchers and students, but welcome anyone with an interest in art and in KMSKA's collections.
