Guided visit The Phoebus Foundation collection
Guided visit of The Phoebus Foundation collection in headquARTers.
Explore the remarkable art and textile collection of The Phoebus Foundation at the HeadquARTers of Katoen Natie — a unique architectural ensemble combining four 19th-century warehouses, two art nouveau houses, and a contemporary extension into one harmonious whole.
Discover 3500 Years of Textile Art, an extraordinary exhibition tracing the evolution of textiles from ancient Egypt, the Near East, and Central Asia. The presentation features exquisitely preserved garments, accessories, and archaeological artifacts, culminating in the Tunic Gallery, home to the world’s largest collection of complete tunics.
The visit continues with Rascals & Rebels, a presentation of contemporary art by Belgian and international artists. Playful or provocative, these works engage with social, political, and cultural themes. Highlights include sculptures by Maria Causa and José Gurvich, paintings by Edgard Tytgat and Julio Larraz, and installations by Libero Badii, Wim Delvoye, Eddo Stern, among others.
