Museums that are the collections of just one man are quite exceptional, yet, some of them rank among the finest. Fritz Mayer van den Bergh and his self-collected museum are a case in point. A large number of magnificent works from the Middle Ages and the Age of Renaissance were brought to Antwerp through his efforts. Paintings, statues, tapestries, drawings, stained glass, and many other works of art have found a permanent place in an attractive house of a suitable historical style. In every 'room', the collector succeeds in seducing you with his refined taste, exceptional knowledge, and keen eye for quality.

In Antwerp, with its wide array of beauty and culture, three museums stand out as quite unique. A visit to the Museum Mayer van den Bergh, the Rubenshuis, and the Museum Smidt van Gelder, will guide you through one thousand years of European art. These three outstanding Antwerp houses show you what 'living with art' can mean... in all its aspects.
