THIS AUTUMN IN BRUGES
13.10.2017 — 21.01.2018
Pieter Pourbus and the forgotten Masters Without the slightest doubt, the must-see autumn exhibition of the year is ‘Pieter Pourbus and the Forgotten Masters’. In contemporary Bruges, come and re-discover centuries-old and forgotten paintings. The ‘Pieter Pourbus and the Forgotten Masters’ exhibition at the Groeninge Museum will bring you face to face with hugely talented artists, such as Pieter Pourbus, Marcus Gerards, Pieter Claeissens the Elder and his sons Gillis, Pieter the Younger, and Antonius. Unfortunately, they have remained undiscovered and unloved by the general public for centuries.

Bruges, UNESCO world heritage Bruges is a city that will capture your heart. It is a city of human proportions, but one that can never be truly fathomed. Its history has made it great, a fact that garnered it the title of a Unesco World Heritage City. Retaining the mysteries of the Middle Ages and unashamedly exuberant, Bruges has been an international metropolis for centuries.
