Antwerp, Belgium

On the way from Bruges to Amsterdam we called in to see Antwerp. It is one of the fashion centres of Europe and there was a fashion museum that I wanted to visit called the Mode Museum.

Antwerp is famous for the 'Antwerp Six'. The museum featured an exhibition by many designers who have been trained at this centre since the 1960s. Each designer had selected a garment to be displayed.

After this we went to a print museum called Museum Plantin-Moretus. There were examples of printed documents from the 15th century until the end of the 19th. Many were really beautiful. They also had a variety of printing presses, many of which still work.

I also saw more beautiful buildings - I really like the shapes of the roofs and all the windows.
