In conjunction with Ensor's exhibitions, the FOMU Photography Museum will feature Belgium's first major retrospective of Cindy Sherman, examining themes of identity and gender in relation to Ensor's artistic vision.

Another exhibition, 'Ensor in Search of Light' at the Plantin-Moretus Museum, will delve into Ensor’s graphic techniques and will also be open from September 28, 2024, to January 19, 2025.

Visitors to Antwerp are encouraged to explore the historic St. Anna Tunnel, a pedestrian passage built in the 1930s that connects the banks of the Scheldt River.

From late September 2024 to early February 2025, Antwerp will host a series of cultural exhibitions under the Ensor 2024 initiative, celebrating contemporary art and fashion history.
