It's a thoughtfully organised museum, in themes (rather than in a chronological order) - such as Identity, Abundance, Religion, etc. Very friendly and helpful staff. An exciting range of art, from the 15th-16th century to contemporary local artists, as well as an impressive collection of mediaeval wooden sculpture. No big names, except for one Van Dyck - and there's also a painting by a Flemish artist, very much revered locally, Dierek Bouts. Contemporary pieces are meant to be viewed together with the old art as if in conversation. There is a piano on the ground floor and you may occasionally hear someone play it whilst you look at the collection, which may enrich the experience.
It's a pity that many exhibits are poorly labelled, with very little information. In some galleries, they are not even labelled at all - instead there is a very convoluted map of the gallery in the corner, which needs to be decoded as a separate exercise! In fact, you are meant to use the audio guide for information. However, I prefer reading or browsing through bits of text at my own pace, rather than listening to some slow musings on the audio. Still, the audio guide only covered a small selection of art objects. I found this somewhat frustrating.
Nevertheless, it's an impressive museum overall, definitely worth a visit.
