Visit the Rubenshuis with your pupils

Yes, you can! Although we cannot promise that we can always accommodate walk-ins. If you don’t want to leave things to fate, use the contact form to book your self-guided visit.

If you want a guided tour, you can also book it in advance. Check all the info here.

This depends on the size of your group, but usually it’s not a problem. 

Are you visiting the Rubenshuis with a guide? We can accommodate up to 2 groups in each time slot. No more than 15 pupils + 1 supervisor per group.   

For self-guided visits, please note that the Rubens Experience has a maximum capacity of 45 pupils + their teachers or supervisors. The garden’s capacity is much larger. 

Unfortunately, the Rubenshuis does not (yet) have a café. However, Theaterplein is just a short walk from the Rubenshuis and a great spot to eat your packed lunch. 

Everything depends on whether you require a guided tour. You can book a self-guided visit with this request form, preferably no later than two weeks before the date of your choice. The Trendsetter and Influencer Tour is a guided tour that must be booked in advance. You can find all the information about the content of this unique tour and practical details here.

About 90 minutes. Your pupils get to explore the Rubens Experience and garden with a guide. But this is anything but a traditional museum visit. Find out more here.

This used to be a real family home, so yes, pupils are allowed to roam around the house freely. Provided someone keeps an eye on them, of course, just like Rubens did with his children when he lived here. 

Yes. There are some group lockers in the entrance area. You can easily open and close them with an analogue numerical code. Need a helping hand? Our staff are always happy to help. 

Not at the moment, because we prefer a different approach. We are currently working on an app that allows pupils (14-18yo) to discover the garden. This will be available from September 2026 so please bear with us while we develop it.
