The former home of the baroque artist Rubens that has been turned into a museum.

The home of world-renowned baroque Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (1577 to 1640) has been converted into a museum that is filled with his art, including works like ‘Adam and Eve’, as well as pieces by his pupils like Anthony van Dyck.
