Beloved. An intimate look at masterpieces

    Friday 20 June 2025 until Sunday 12 September 2027 from 10:00 to 17:00

A total of 43 museum enthusiasts from Antwerp have selected a work that will be on show for you to admire in the Maagdenhuis while the museum itself is closed. So why not look at the collection through their eyes and (re)discover a multitude of masterpieces?

Meet the man behind the collection

The atmospheric collector's museum Museum Mayer van den Bergh is closed until 2029 for major restoration and expansion. This will allow us to tell the unique story of the Mayer van den Bergh family and their extraordinary art collection even better.

Fortunately, you don't have to wait until 2029 to get acquainted already! In this video, you will discover the museum's greatest art treasures and the unique story of mother and son Mayer van den Bergh.

In the future
