The 19th- and 20th-century collections of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp (KMSKA) will from 29 April be on display in the city's centrally located Koningin Fabiolazaal. KMSKA is closing for an extensive six-year renovation, but much of its collection will be on view elsewhere. The exhibition in the Koningin Fabiolazaal, titled The Moderns: Highlights from the Royal Museum, will include work by Emile Claus, James Ensor, Rik Wouters and Gustave Van De Woestyne, and runs until early 2012. Some of the museum's masterpieces from its Rubens and Flemish Primitives collections, meanwhile, will be part of the first exhibition of Antwerp's new city museum, MAS, which opens in May.

The Vooruit is home to the fifth-ever Nacht van de Poezie, or Night of Poetry, on 2 April. First staged to a sell-out audience in Brussels' Vorst Nationaal nearly 40 years ago, the event ran twice in the 1970s and twice in the 1980s. It begins as 20.00 and goes for 12 hours straight, with 50 poets each taking the stage for 10 minutes. Not a bad way to spend the night. www.nachtvandepoezie.be
