Groeninge Museum

I had the best time visiting the Groeninge Museum today. Epic masterpieces and so many of the fun creepy depictions of demons from the renaissance art that keep you guessing. The audio guide was helpful and they have a great gift shop with postcards and trinkets from the collection. Would recommend if visiting Bruges!

A very nice museum of fine arts. Sufficient explanation to help a layman like me to get around. Didn’t have time to finish as I was too hungry. Will definitely visit again to finish it.

Very nice art museum with an interesting exhibit about medieval books. Lacked a bit of variety because you can only see so many paintings of Jesus on the cross before it gets boring. The highlight for me the Boschs tryptic. Stunning. Overall for the price it was pretty good.

Great little treasure of Flemish art; from the Flemish primitives to the expressionists. Entrance is hard to find, but the museum will reward you with some coolness on a hot summer day like today. I walked through in 45min without audio guide. The guide is included -on your phone- with the 15 euro entrance fee.

Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem with beautiful works by influential Flemish painters from early Christianity to Renaissance. The Book of Hours exhibit was fascinating and well executed. The permanent collection contains a wealth of striking works unique to Bruges, including Bruges based masters, works that hung in City Hall, the Courthouse, etc. Some nice online content to go along with some of the works (scan the QR code). Other works had no info except painter and title. Some had a headset icon with a number, like there might have been an audio tour, but i must have missed it. Virtually empty when I went mid-day on a Friday. A couple upholstered benches to rest.

More than 500 years of Flamish painting (incl. old masters like Jan van Eyck] to be seen here. A 3 days ticket for s totaln of 11 museums for € 33 a real good choice ( available also in advance via WWW).

I was on the fence between four and five stars for the Groeninge Museum. The work of Hieronymus Bosch pushed me to the five because The Last Judgment was worth the entire visit to the museum for me. Aside from that there are many wonderful works by Flemish masters housed here. The Bruges city card will grant you access; it can be bought in 24, 48, and 72 hour increments. You can wait until you have several attractions planned before you activate it. You can buy it at any of the sites that accept it, and they are fairly plentiful around this magical medieval city. It is city Street parking, so keep that in mind if you plan on driving here. How about transport in the form of the bus line is the easiest way to access this part of the city if you are not on foot as I was.

Beautiful view on the history of local fine art. Works of the best-known artists (such as Hieronymus Bosh, van Eyeck, etc.) offer understanding of values and views of the given period up to contemporary era. Definately worth visiting.

A well laid out and inviting museum that allows you to get up close to some of the best artowrks by the Flemish masters. Van Eyck and Bosch are represented, as well as a smattering of post-modern artists from the 20th century. I enjoyed how each room represented a particular artistic movement chronologically. A nice way to spend 90 minutes or so.

Flemish art overload. Allow 1-3/4 hours. Each room had multi-lingual explanatory cards (a great idea). + padded benches €30 for 2

Covid Fascists. Do not go here if you are not from the EU. They would not let me (American) in because they only accept vaccination cards from the EU. I presented them with my physical proof of vaccination card--they said no because it did not have a QR code on it. So I downloaded the official vaccination verification QR code app for NY state/CDC and presented them with my QR code. They told me that American QR codes do not scan. They would not let me in to see the art. Only after I went through the process of getting my vaccination QR code set up the lady working the desk told me that only EU QR codes scan. I understand trying to be safe with the pandemic but this was ridiculous. I had so much proof that I was vaccinated. They must certainly be selling data from the QR codes because there is no explanation why they did not accept my verified proof of vaccination. I came to see the art (which should be accessible to everyone) and I was excluded from entering.

Really impressive collection of Flemish art. This museum really shows off how great pre-Italian Renaissance art can be. Van Eyck, Gerard David, Bosch, and Van der Weyden have masterpieces here that shouldn't be missed if you're in Brugge.

They sold us tickets 15 minutes before the museum was closing for the day, without warning us. After 5 min of enjoying the art, there was a general announcement that museum is closing in 10 min and we were forced to leave. They refused to refund the tickets.

Most tourists will be drawn here by the Flemish Primitives, which are indeed stunning. In particular, Hieronymus Bosch's "Last Judgement" and the two-part "Judgment of Cambyses" will put you in the terrifying 15-century mindset faster than any history book. The more modern sections are not as strong but still interesting. The museum itself is attractive and easily accessible.

Contains a prolific collection of Flemish primitives (pre-renaissance paintings) as well as a more recent works by Belgians. The collection is lengthy and interesting. Apart from the classics there is a well-made collection for works that have been otherwise unappreciated either due to their large size or the painter's lack of fame. This exhibit showcasing infamous works weaves the city within silver waters and breaks for glimpses of Bruges relevant paintings. This museum is the glory of Bruges, showcasing the talent of local painters throughout the ages.

Excellent intro to Flemish primitivism. A pleasant spot to escape the tourist hustle and bustle that is Bruges. Friendly staff and great exhibits.
