Even if you don't particularly like going to museums when you travel for tourism, I make you realize that you Bruges visit, riding a Flanders, it will be incomplete if you do not take the opportunity to enjoy the painting of the flamingo primitives.

In Madrid, where I live, we are lucky that in the Prado Museum we can see important works of painting by the so-called flamingo primitives, artists of the 15th and 16th centuries from the south of what was then called Netherlands, a territory that currently corresponds to Belgium.
But in the aforementioned Belgium, and specifically in Witches, you can delve deeper into the enjoyment of this pictorial style.

For this reason, in Witches above all you have two museums that deserve your visit.

On the one hand, the one that occupies the old Hospital of San Juan, a 13th century building where, along with multiple and curious objects related to its hospital function for centuries, masterpieces by one of the main Flemish artists are displayed, Hans memling.

But without a doubt the place to see the most extensive exhibition of works by the aforementioned flamingo primitives is Groeninge museum, where after seeing their collection, you will leave with another vision of what the flemish painting.

You will start your visit to the museum by seeing four rooms dedicated precisely to those mentioned. Flemish primitives.

Thus, you will find other rooms dedicated to artists of the 17th century and to the neoclassicism of witches.

And the exhibition will end with works from the last century by artists expressionists y fauvists flamingos.
