pictures 4 - more antwerp

river walk in Antwerp - down to the newly (as in 3 weeks newly) opened

MAS museum.  Supposed to resemble stacked shipping pallets - windows are curved glass.  Escalators are on the outside of the cube, all the way up to the observation deck - which... is open to all w/out museum tickets -- what a system.

the main art museums are closed until 2017, and many of the cental pieces are moved here (or other) for the duration.

print of the town hall seen in the last setment

the Mode Museum - or MOMU - was showing KNITTING !  how cool.  One ball gown out of sock weight silk yarn. 

Yes, this is knit... (then embellished)  

Antwerp cathedral - long view

and up into the crossing - which is topped by a "look into the heavens" painting.

lovely city, and lovely to see our friends....
