Museum information

As a continuation of the conference in Antwerp on 24 June, the Bruges museums are organizing a conference in connection with the exhibition Jan van Eyck, early Netherlandish painting and southern Europe.

The Municipal Museums of Bruges and Antwerp’s Marvels of Delight are currently organising an International Symposium in conjunction with Jan van Eyck, Early Netherlandish Painting and Southern Europe and the upcoming Flemish Drawing Exhibition in Antwerp. The Symposium attempts to survey the current state of scholarship on fifteenth century painting and drawing. The Bruges portion will be held on the 25th and the 26th of June in the Xaverius Chapel, part of the Groeningemuseum. We are very proud that so many prominent speakers were willing to collaborate. Practical information and a registration form follow the program.
