Art and History at Museum Mayer van den Bergh

This museum is the result of Fritz Mayer van den Bergh’s passion for medieval art in the 19th century. It is a remarkable testament to the art collection and dedication of its founder.

Founded in 1904, this museum is significant as one of the world's first dedicated to a single collection. It features a variety of art, including paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and stained glass, with a focus on works from the Low Countries. The architectural style mimics a 16th-century town house and enriches the viewing experience.
