Review:
The Groeninge Museum resides on the previous site of the Eekhoutabdij, the Eekhout Abbey, and was designed by prominent architect Joseph Vieren. In 1995 the adjacent neo-Gothic building designed by architect Jean-Baptiste Bethune was added to the museum to create extra space for the collection of Bruges paintings that had previously been scattered throughout the city. Today, visitors can marvel at Flemish expressionism masterpieces, such as The Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele, 18th and 19th century neoclassical paintings, and post-war modern art. Flemish primitive paintings are the collection’s focal point, with artwork from legends Hans Memling, Jan van Eyck, Gerard David, and Hugo van der Goes.
