The MAS Antwerp is more than just a museum. It's an impressive warehouse located in the heart of the bustling Eilandje district. A boulevard with meter-high windows takes you 60 meters up. On the roof terrace, a 360-degree view of the city, the harbor, and the world awaits.

During Carnival, the tower, which is called the Peperbus, is completely dressed up. The church belongs to the Lieve Vrouwe Parish and therefore has a relationship with the Holy Virgin. The church can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday from 13:00 to 16:30 (entrance Kerkstraat).

Anton van Duinkerken (1903 - 1968), pseudonym of Willem Asselbergs, was born in Bergen op Zoom. Asselbergs manifested himself as a poet, journalist, writer, correspondent, scientist and orator. He was one of the most important emancipators of the Catholic Church. In 1952 he was appointed professor of Dutch Language and Literature at the Catholic University of Nijmegen. Immediately after his death, the Monument Committee Anton van Duinkerken was established in his hometown. Hein Vree was commissioned to make the statue that originally stood on the Sint-Josephplein, near his birthplace Sint-Josephstraat 9. Vree depicted Van Duinkerken in his characteristic pose as an entertaining conversationalist. Due to a major renovation of this part of the city, the so-called Paradeplan, the statue was moved to the Grote Markt in 2003. Source: https://www.kidor.nl/kunstwerk.aspx?ID=28

In 2021, two metre-high photos of Mozes de Hes and Walter Süskind were hung on the northern facade of the Bergen synagogue. Mozes de Hes was the last cantor – or chazan – of the synagogue and the associated Jewish School. De Hes was taken to Auschwitz and murdered. The second photo is of the well-known Jewish Bergen resident Walter Süskind. He lived in a rented house on Burgemeester Mathonstraat until March 1942 and was transferred to Amsterdam with his wife and daughter. There he managed to save around six hundred children from the Hollandsche Schouwburg from death. He himself, his wife and daughter Yvonneke did not survive the war. They were murdered by the Germans in an extermination camp, somewhere in a concentration camp in central Europe. The screenplay of the film Süskind (2012) is based on the true story of Walter Süskind.
