Note: The tickets are sold at the kiosk OUTSIDE of the house, standing at the street, with the lockers for your luggage provided. Visited a Rubenshuis one a half hour before the closing time, which turned out to be a perfect choice- not too many people around. And you need some space to appreciate the quiet, sober, yet magnificent interiors of this perfectly preserved medieval house. Inside one can appreciate many magnificent oil paintings and marble statues from the period Rubens have lived, some of them actually bought by the man himself. The trip around the house is set logically, with an interesting story being told along. The leather wall tapestries was something absolutely incredible, I've never seen such decor in any other medieval building. At the end of the trip you can walk around the middle ages- inspired garden, with the bees buzzing around. Rubenshuis is in fact quite similar to Museum Mayer Van den Bergh, so if you visited one of them you don't necessarily need to go to the other if you're on a tight budget. But if you will actually visit both you surely won't regret it, the Mad Maggie at MMVDB was a masterpiece. The Plantin Moretus is from the same era too, but the museum is much larger and tells a whole different narrative, so it's worth visiting on it's own. Overall, Rubens House is a little pearl of a place, well, well worth seeing!

Ruben’s house is quite exquisite considering it has survived for so many centuries. The saddest part was to see his death bed but you get to know about his life, his work, etc. I visited during Christmas time and his work was commisioned by Art Gallery of Ontario last month. So before visit his hiuse, I had a chance to see his work in Toronto. I highly recommend visiting it if you enjoy art

Excellent place to visit especially during the winter. I liked the fact that there were a lot of backround information regarding the artwork and the artist. I did not like the fact that I bought an electronic ticket from the internet and I had to pass by the cashier to validate it. This could have happened directly by the people who control the tickets. It means that when the museum has a lot of visitors queuing is inevitable.

The main draw here, for me at least, was the house, as opposed to the paintings within, it is a stunning property. Although much altered since, Rubens designed it & lived & worked in it up until his death. It is both quaint & sumptuous, in parts resembling an Italian palazzo. The small garden is also a delight. The art pieces within include some of Rubens own work plus his collection of paintings & sculptures by other artists. Tickets & time slots can be booked online or at the ticket office opposite. Entry is free every last Wednesday of the month but during Covid a book timed slot is still required.

My boyfriend and I went to Rubens House with very little expectations concerning the visit and the museum itself. We were very wrong! The staff that sells the tickets were very nice and polite, there are locks to leave your stuff for the period of the time you spend in the museum. Inside the museum, you will be taken through different - magnificent - rooms, full of paintings and sculptures and some furniture that are amawing to look at. As some people mentioned in the comments, the staff that guards each of the rooms can be surprising. We did not have any issues whatsoever but sometimes they were very loud - which in France, specially in a museum would be considered impolite. Maybe the habits in Belgium are different? Anyways, the whole visit took us around 2,5 to three hours. We did not spend much time in the gardens because it was cold and raining but I'll add a couple more minutes to the visit if you come when the sun's out cause I'd bet that spending some time in the gardens must be amazing. About that, some of it has recently gone through an extensive conservation works and we can learn about it towards the end of the visit. Absolutely reccomend it!

We had a few hours spare and went along to the Rubens House Museum; we were lucky it wasn't that busy and we purchased tickets and an audio system. Be warned you have to lock your handbag/bags in a locker as they are not allowed inside! However the experience was good and well worth the entrance fee, you could walk at your own pace and listen to the commentary on marked numbered exhibits! The paintings were impressive and learning something about the life and times of Rubens and his contemporaries was very interesting. The gardens were also lovely to wander in, alongside the architecture!

Amazing to be able to walk around Reuben's house - it is opulent and has a huge garden. Reuben's life as an artist is intrinsic to the building so is interesting from this perspective, as well as the art on display. If you are just interested in seeing a beautiful town house from the 17th Century, it is worth a visit for this.

Rubens house is interesting if you like paintings and statues. It doesn't only feature paintings made by Rubens, but also others like Van Dyk's. But the house also gives a idea of what the house looked like.

So great to go to this beautiful house and see how and where he lived. The gardens are also lovely. We were in February so low season and it was still a little busy so I can imagine in peak periods it would be extremely busy. TIP - Wednesday is free museum day

The Rubens House has long been on my to visit list. I had a day off from work and I decided to book my visit. It was amazing! Such a beautiful building and paintings. A must see if you are in Antwerpen. I loved everything about it. It was very special because we had the entire building to ourselves. The guards in the building were very nice. They were helpful and welcoming. They told us that the museum has a lot of visitors in non Corona times and it was extraordinary that we had it to ourselves. It was so much fun. I would certainly return.
