Fritz Mayer van den Bergh was a very well off Belgian who loved art and accumulated a very impressive collection of over 1000 pieces. The museum is basically his house that shows the visitor many of his purchases but by no means all of them. Most impressive, to me anyway, were the Bruegels. He favored 14th to 16th century paintings but the collection stretches far beyond that time frame. Unlike many museums these days in Europe, you CAN take photographs in this one(minus the flash). There is also one room with a couple of computers where you can watch and learn more about the man and his life and obsession of art. There was also another room that was closed off but I’m guessing it is for school trips for young children who can also learn about art. The musuem is over a few floors and you can get through it in an hour but do take your time and enjoy the collection.
