About this audio guide
This guide to Sint-Anna's Tunnel in Antwerp begins on a September day in nineteen thirty-three, when a king, a mayor and a crowd of schoolchildren made the first crossing beneath the Scheldt. It follows the city architect who trained as an artist and shaped the entrance halls, and the Liège firm behind the wooden escalators. Best heard at the top of the escalator, before you step on.
