Discover the fascinating world of Panamarenko at Het Panamarenkohuis in Antwerpen. Immerse yourself in the house where he lived and worked for many years. Following a recent renovation period, the public now has the opportunity to explore the unique content and architecture of this historic property, located at Biekorfstraat 2. Panamarenko's artistic journey, which began in the 1960s, has gained international recognition. However, what is lesser known is that the majority of his oeuvre was created in his combined studio and residence. In 2002, after leaving the city, Panamarenko generously donated the property to the M HKA. Since then, the building has undergone a careful dismantling and renovation process. Today, it stands as a testament to an extraordinary artistic adventure, which lives on through the M HKA's collection. Due to the fragility of this hidden piece of art history, each guided tour is limited to a maximum of 8 individuals. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the legacy of Panamarenko at Het Panamarenkohuis.
