Museum Mayer van den Bergh (with kids)

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...

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