Groeninge Museum
Considered one of Bruges' best museums, the Groeninge Museum
houses a large collection of fine art going back to the 15th
century, including works by famous Flemish painters Jan van Eyck,
Hieronymus Bosch, Rogier van der Weyden and Hans Memling. Thought
some of the works are from recent years, the museum's collections
focuses exclusively on works with classical techniques, and has
some beautiful pieces.
