This museum, which was officially opened on 11 March 1939, was included among the fifty most important print collections in the world by the International Committee of Keepers of Public Collections of Graphic Art. The museum collection is a combination of old prints from the Plantin Moretus and the private collection of the first curator, Max Rooses. The latter collected mainly engravings and drawings by artists from Antwerp made from the 16th to 19th century, including the early work of Rubens, Jordaens and Van Dijck. Frans Dille, Jan Cox and Panamarenko are examples of more recent artists. The museum also has a library (non-lending) and reading room.
