About

Along the banks of the Scheldt on the 1st floor of the former river customs house is an exhibition of cameras from the late 19th century to 2005.
This was an era of three major photographic transformations: black and white and its mechanization, then color still using analog film, and finally digital.

The Museum of Photographic Art is a volunteer association run by Martine Leroux, a professional portrait photographer.

Come visit the museum every Thursday between 10am and 5pm. We also organize "open house" days twice a year: on Ascension Thursday and the last Sunday of September during the photographic flea market.

  

For visits, please contact us in advance to ensure the best possible welcome.
