Groeningemuseum Brugge

OFFICIAL PAGE / MADE PART OF MUSEUMS BRUGGE

This museum offers a varied overview of the history of Belgian visual art. The center of gravity of the collection is undoubtedly the world-famous collection of Flemish primitives with top works by Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes and Gerard David. Also important is the work of the neoclassicists who knew international success. Artists such as Suvée, Duvivier, Ducq, Odevaere and Kinsoen are known for their historical pieces and portraits in a cool and sculptural style. The remarkable collection of paintings by Flemish expressionists also catches the eye, with work by Permeke, De Smet, Van den Berghe, Brusselmans and Tytgat. The Groeninge Museum owes its international appeal not only to its exceptional permanent collection, but also to the prestigious exhibitions that take place regularly.
