The Flemish Masters

Our Flemish Masters like Peter Paul Rubens, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Jan van Eyck, left an indelible mark on the history of painting. Along with their contemporaries, they shaped some of the most influential movements of their time: from the Flemish Primitives to the Renaissance and the Baroque. Today, discover their extraordinary legacy in Flanders’ most prominent museums, including the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA), the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) and the Groeninge Museum Bruges. But their masterpieces can also be admired in churches, chapels, castles, town halls, abbeys … across Flanders. There is no better way to experience the Flemish Masters than in the very places where they lived, worked and found their inspiration. Set out on a Flemish Masters Tour, your connecting thread from place to place.

Brussels has been dubbed as the centre of contemporary art, making it the place to be for the hip and cool. It is the home to countless contemporary art hotspots, ranging from galleries to museums and foundations.
