From 2 February 2013 visitors to the Rockox House in Antwerp will be able to see how an Antwerp art collection must have have appeared in the Golden Century. More particularly, the residence of burgomaster and patron Nicolaas Rockox (1560–1640) is being transformed into a luxurious art cabinet with top items from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (closed for renovation) and the most important works from the Rockox House itself.

For this exhibition we have developed a webapp for smartphone, tablet and pc. By surfing to www.hetguldencabinet.be you gain quick and easy access to information about all the items on show If you launch the webapp from a pc or laptop at home, you can arrange your favourite paintings and objects in your personal art cabinet.
