Read MorePartial reopening of the Rubens House in Antwerp gives glimpse of painter’s life
The city palace of Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens is partly reopening this weekend, allowing Antwerp to show off the life and work of perhaps its most famous citizen. The Rubens House may not have as many paintings as Madrid’s Prado museum or the canvas surface spread around the port city’s Cathedral of Our Lady. But if there is any place that Rubens himself felt more at home, it was his own house in Antwerp looking out over his garden. While the core of the house remains closed until at least 2030 for ongoing renovations, the dazzling new welcome center and the redesigned garden will open doors on Friday. What it lacks in actual paintings — a self-portrait is the only major piece on view during the renovations — it hopes to make up in atmosphere, exuding the spirit ...

Read MoreOn a crisp, wintry day on Belgium's far-western coast, Gunther Vanbleu rides his draft horse down the sandy beach and into the shallow waters. As the bright yellow of Vanbleu's anorak stands out against the waves, under the water, his draft horse - characterized by its powerful hindquarters - pulls a chain along the sand, causing a vibration that sends shrimp jumping into an outstretched net. The coastal village of Oostduinkerke is the last place in the world where horseback shrimp fishing is still practiced - today as a UNESCO-recognised centuries-old tradition rather than a commercial enterprise. FILE PHOTO: Gunther Vanbleu, 49, a Belgian shrimps fisherman with 10 years of experience, rides his carthorse named Martha to haul a net out of the sea to catch shrimps during low tide...
