Source

The Snijders&Rockoxhuis is an early-17th-century historic building. Nicolaas Rockox (1560 - 1640) bought the property in 1603. The museum is located on the ground floor which is a good example of 17th-century Flemish living culture. The collection includes furniture, sculpture, porcelain, pottery and paintings, including works by Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, Anthony Van Dyck and Pieter Brueghel the Younger.
