From the museum website

To mark the conclusion of the open-workshop restoration of Jacob Jordaens’ large-scale masterpiece The Ferry-Boat to Antwerp (circa 1623), the museum presents an exhibition which focuses on the painting’s creation, concept, and significance within art history. The one-year-long restoration work, supplemented by technical studies and other research, has yielded new knowledge about the painting and the artist’s original working method.

The findings are presented by an exhibition that also allows for a rare glimpse of the artist’s preliminary studies for the painting.
