A guide will escort the visitors through the MAS along the surprising, tortuous and often invisible trail of the food chain through Antwerp. Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Antwerp, for example, has more than 500,000 inhabitants. That’s half a million mouths that need to be fed daily. How do we succeed in doing this today, what will we need to do in the future and how is that different from what happened a few centuries ago?
‘Antwerp à la carte’ at the MAS will introduce you to how products are supplied from the countryside – whether from close by or overseas – to the city; the lively sale of native and exotic products at markets and in shops; dining in the city, from chic hotels to snack bars; and the trajectory of food from the city back to the country – often in the form of human waste. This tour at the MAS focuses on reminiscences that are triggered by sensory perceptions.
The guide will look for points of reference with the visitors’ lives. The sensory perceptions and emotions will be linked to stories and experiences that, in turn, can be shared. The tour is given in small groups.
