The Shopping Fifties



These november days can be very wet & cold. If you're looking for a shelter in style, go to one of the cozy shoppingcenters in the city. "de nieuwe gaanderij" (the 'new' gallery was build in 1954) is situated between the Korte Gasthuisstraat and the Huidevettersstraat. This fifties-modern shoppingarea has a great mix of different fashion-goals. You'll find a children's shoestore, an optician, a cosmeticary-store and many other small & lovely shops.

Did you know that two of the Antwerp Six, Dries Van Noten and Dirk Van Saene, had their very first shop in this gallery back in the eighties? Well, now you do!
