I really enjoyed visiting MAAT. The scale of the place is very impressive, and you truly feel that this space used to be fully operational in the past. Walking through the former power station gives you a strong sense of history. It doesn’t feel like a typical museum — the building itself is a big part of the experience. The mix of industrial architecture and modern exhibitions works very well. It’s an interesting and atmospheric place where you want to walk around slowly and take everything in. Highly recommended.

Interesting museum, the exhibits are not a lot, but they have their own charm. Very nice location and shop. The power plant is a pleasant find and is well maintained.

My experience was seemless. Very easy to use the map and purchase tickets and no issues using inside. We greatly enjoyed both museums. Well worth it!
