Data Viz at the Museum
I recently spent a weekend getaway in the Low Countries. Saturday started with a trip to Zeeland mainly to admire sea defences and dykes. I also visited Watersnoodmuseum a fascinating place housed in four grey concrete blocks caissons, half-sunk in the ground at uneven angles. On Sunday I travelled to Antwerp. It was mainly to visit MAS museum, a must-see attraction for everyone. Great exhibitions, amazing architecture and spectacular views at the viewpoint.
One of the exhibitions – Antwerp a la carte – was a big attention-grabber for me. Firstly, it was about food and secondly, it contained some really neat data visualisations.
Compelling graphs that showed places where food came from to Antwerp over time:

Go in and see Antwerp a la carte you won’t regret it!
