Flemish Masters in situ
Bruges is rich in museums and churches containing a large number of famous works of art by equally well-known artists. Often, great masters created works for a specific place, such as a church, a monastery or a palace, for example, but over the centuries, many of those pieces have been relocated to museums around the world. Others, however, have remained in the place for which they were created.
With the project ‘Flemish Masters in situ’, those works of art that are still in their original locations are now being made accessible to the general public. These gems – hidden or otherwise – can be found in the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady), the Museum Sint-Janshospitaal (Museum St John's Hospital), the Adornesdomein (Adornes Estate) , Hof Bladelin (Bladelin Court), Kerk en Klooster van de Ongeschoeide Karmelieten (Church and monastery of the Discalced Carmelites) and Historium Brugge.
A ‘Master Tour’ connects those 6 locations, while also leading you past some other locations that are fascinating but not as well-known. This ‘Flemish Masters in situ’ walk has been added to the free Visit Bruges Route App. As well as providing full details of where the Masters themselves are located, it also provides you with a host of additional tips and interesting facts.
