Vrijdagsmarkt
A bit more about the Vrijdagsmarkt - Plantin Moretus Museum - Antwerp
The most important attraction on the Vrijdagmarkt (Friday Market) is the Plantin-Moretus Museum.
Christoffel Plantijn founded his publishing house ”De Gulden Passer”(The Golden Compasses) in Antwerp in 1555. Twenty-one years later, he relocated his business to the Vrijdagmarkt.
When you visit the museum today, you’ll enter a fully equipped publishing house from the Renaissance-Baroque period. It’s unique in his kind and the Unesco added the Plantin-Moretus Museum to the World Heritage List in 2002.
Around the Vrijdagmarkt are a number of junk dealers who have auctions on Friday from 9 am till 1 pm. If you want a set of old chairs from a bankrupt pub, a vintage chandelier from a hippie who died of an overdose or a cupboard which looks exactly like the one in granny’s living room, this is the place to be to get it at bargain price.
