"Twee voorstellingen van de maaltijd en de bezichtiging van antiquiteiten in het stadhuis van Vlissingen" (Two Views of the Meal and the Viewing of Antiquities in the Town Hall of Vlissingen) is a pair of etchings by Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips, dating from 1753. They show two scenes within the town hall of Vlissingen, Zeeland, one depicting a group of people dining, the other showing figures examining a collection of ancient artifacts. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. These etchings offer a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch society and the importance of civic gatherings and antiquarian studies.
