Groeninge Museum

Just to see the Virgin and Child with Canon van DER Paele is worth a visit. What an amazing painting, think about how old that painting is and the color still popping (I want you to remember what year it is and look at another painting of the same period in the museum.) And the atmosphere around this museum is very nice too.

Groeninge Museum is a calm place where you can rest from the crowded streets of Brugge and meditate over one of the most amazing Flemish Masters paintings. I admired paintings of Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Jan Provoost, Gerard David, Jeronimus Bosch and Pieter Pourbus. The exhibition is not as big as the Old Masters Museum in Brussels, so 1-2h may be enough for the visit.

Groeninge Museum in Bruges is a cultural haven! Marvel at an exquisite collection of Flemish and Belgian art spanning centuries. The masterpieces on display are a testament to the city's rich artistic heritage. The museum is thoughtfully curated, providing a seamless journey through the evolution of art. For tourists, the audio guide offers insightful commentary in multiple languages, enhancing the experience. Conveniently situated in the city center, it's easily accessible. Take your time to appreciate the diverse artworks, including the renowned Flemish Primitives. Een onmisbare culturele ervaring in Brugge!

Very nice museum, Bosch is one of my favourite artists and his works displayed here are just something else

Great museum that has an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures representing many various painting styles.

I liked the museum very much. My favorite part is the Primitives. I was a bit disappointed the painting of Bosch was missing, it was sent to an exhibition abroad. At the same time I liked that Brugge Museum shares its works with different countries, spreading the love for art this way.

What a gem! The museum detailed the evaluation of the artistic development solely focused on artists related to Bruges arranged in chronological order. Content is really well explained and labeled. I feel like I am taking a Flemish paining history class here. Loved it! There is of course Van Eyke, Memling, Campin, Van De Weyden… even somehow there is a Bosch and a Pieter Bruegel II. I saw some amazing landscape painting by Cooseman and Asselberg!

Amazing museum with works by many of the greats. Not too big, so perfect for an hour or two. Staff was very friendly.

Lovely museum filled with works of Flemish artists, mostly paintings. Works range from as early as 1400s to present day. Very impressive to see the detail and quality that the early artists were able to accomplish.

A truly gorgeous gallery!
This museum has a great digital tour, that provides you with plenty of information as well as some audio snippets detailing the artworks.
Unfortunately the Hieronymus Bosch panels are currently loaned to another museum, but there's still so much stunning work to see.
Don't skip this one, it's very much worth your time.

Excellent Belgian art museum. The works are nicely displayed with ample spacing between pieces.

A brilliant experience. Lots of people complain about the price, but it's not busy and you can store your belongings for free in safe lockers. The Brugge 72 hour card is great value. We had a brilliant time at all the Brugge museums, the staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and hospitable at all the museums.

Well worth a visit for Heironymus Bosch, Hans Memlimg and information about the old Art Academy!

Amazing collection with some seriously incredible paintings. It's a shame more people weren't visiting as Bruges itself was really busy, but the gallery itself was relatively quiet. That was good for me, but more people should see the painting, especially those from the so-called Flemish Primitives.

They have a fantastic collection of artworks, tickets were easy to buy with the machine and the grounds were lovely. We really enjoyed this and would recommend!

Lots of paintings to see. Going there on school days is the best, no crowds.

Incredible collection of art. Each gallery (time period) has an information card with details on each piece. Very interesting and engaging. Spent a good two hours here.

Taken off guard by how good this gallery is. Well curated. Fine examples of Flemish painting. Some legit masterpieces.

I spent the morning walking round dazzled by colour and depth of the works of the Flemish primitives: religious works, pastiches, allegories, landscapes and portraits. Each painting was worthy of consideration; sometimes accompanied by more notes than just the title/ artist in Flemish, French, German and English.

Well worth the entrance fee.

One of the most entertaining art museums ever. Six hundred years of Flemish art that is so amazing, bizarre, violent, reverent, detailed and macabre that you can stare at one painting for ever just pointing out the glory of it all. We had a blast.

A quiet, enriching place with just the right amount of art and explanations to leave you feeling educated and inspired. Priceless art that shows well-earned pride in Belgium’s roots and influence in the world of art.
