Summary: "The collections of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp have, of course, been featured in many previous publications. This book, however, is the first to provide a detailed history of the institution itself. It tells the fascinating story of the museum as a child of the French Revolution, as an annex to the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts, and, more recently, as the epicentre of the city's vibrant Zuid district, chronicling its evolution from a modest municipal museum to the royal scientific institution and internationally renowned treasure-house of the Flemish Community it is today" (texto en tapa posterior)
