Discover our plans for the future in Hof van Arenberg
Museum Mayer van den Bergh will be shut as from 27 April 2025. The doors will only open again in 2029 – provided everything goes according to plan. We are about to embark on an enormous and dramatic restoration. In doing so, we aim to restore the present museum as much as possible to what it was in 1904, the year of its opening. Plus, we will integrate the museum with the Hof van Arenberg and build a new extension on the back.
At Hof van Arenberg, the former residence of the Mayer van den Bergh family, you can discover all about the plans for the future. Large panels and a video give a glimpse of the future museum. The museum staff will be happy to answer your questions.

Not only will you see the ambitious plans for the future museum, you can also have some creative fun at Hof van Arenberg. Decorate a plate in Bruegel style, design your own ex libris book stamp or join us in shaping the museum of the future.
