Description
The disgrace of Antwerp.
stock exchanges
19th Century
Neo-Gothic
Built in 1872
Twaalfmaandenstraat
2000 Antwerp
The stock exchanges'handelsbeurs' is a remain of the golden century. In the 16th century Antwerp
was an important international trade center.
The London Stock exchange is a copy of this
building because Sir Thomas Gresham saw
the building in Antwerp.
Reconstructed in 1872. The original building, 'the mother of all exchanges' dated from 1531.
7 years neglect for people of Antwerp and tourists. A disgrace of the city of Antwerp.

This is not only a disgrace to Antwerp but to Belgium as a whole. A very great shame.
Such a waste of a beautiful and historic building

How can they leave a building so beautiful to die if they have the resources to save it?

Cubist feeling... very cool! Picasso lives!
It is sad that this happens in all countries but there are some fantastic doors and windows in your montage. Dana
Stellar collage. This is really outstanding and the pieces fit together perfectly to give an eerie and intriguing manipulation.
Yes, it's a shame. Here in Heidelberg they give out a lot of money for restoration. Although your collage superb!!
Such a beautiful building, how could they let it go? Great collage...

GRANDISIMA COMPOSICION, UNA TOAS EXTRAORDINARIA, ELEANTE
wonderful windows!! GREAT collage!!!!
This is no way to treat such a beautiful building and such a historically important one. Seeing the rubbish and the rough patching on the door is heartbreaking. Your collage is a powerful message against this situation. I hope someone with means becomes interested in the building's fate.
Absolutly class collage with great architecture!!
Wow! The architecture. You lucky.
