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.

For the money you get not one but two museums, which are both great, you have some modern art and instalation on one hand, and old industrial historical building on other hand, I really enjoyed the experience with my girlfriend! Reccomendacion!!!

    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.
