Museum Mayer van den Bergh (couple trip)

We enjoyed this lovely, small museum and the masterpieces it contains. Private collections are fabulous to see and this one is small but excellent with fabulous pieces of art and interesting objects Mayer van den Bergh collected. We could get close to the artwork to study them and they are worth taking a close look at. We were given a good English handbook explaining each object which was excelle...

Currently on display at Antwerp's Maagdenhuis, the collection is still spectacular!

There is a booklet that tells you about each object and information available on why it was selected, which helped every art piece or object...

It’s one of my best museum experiences. From the start, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely museum in an old Antwerp house. Quiet when I was there so I had plenty of time to admire the art in blissful peace. Interesting paintings by Brueghel (young) and Bruegel (old). Some unique statues from the 14c and other examples of fine art. For your €10 entry fee you get a small book of museum highlights that is serviceable without being great.
