This, on March 15th 2025 taken, picture shows the Museum aan de Stroom, called MAS (Museum by the Stream), located along the river Scheldt in the city of Antwerp, Belgium. The MAS Museum is also known as the Water Museum or the Riverside Museum because it's located on the east bank of the Scheldt river.

The whole building seems to be a square. The 'boxes' are piled up, and the spiral staircase rotates up around these 'boxes', providing visitors with a new perspective on the city and the port. The arc-cut glass curtain window is 6 meters (about 20 feet) high, and the three thousand aluminum hand-shaped patterns are embedded in. It's an example of postmodern Art Deco architecture.

The red stone make this 'red tower' glow in the sun. The museum is 60 meters (about 200 feet) high, and if one climbs to the top, one can overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole city (THIS IMAGE was taken on top of this building).
