During your journey by passenger barge from Brussels to Bruges, get a full sense of the rich history and many pleasures of Belgium. Discover the roots of Flemish art as you trace the history of the Flemish Primitives and Flemish Baroque painters and learn about the lives these masters led. Discover the former center of tapestry production in Oudenaarde where, in the contemporary workshops, 16th-century weaving methods are still used. Examine the van Eyck brothers masterpiece, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a 24-panel altarpiece housed in St. Bavo Cathedral. Visit the Grote Markt and Belgiums largest Gothic cathedral. Discover the influence of Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens with guided visits to the Rockox House Museum and Rubens House in Antwerp. Marvel at the Hans Memling collection at the former St. Johns Hospital in Bruges, now a remarkable museum. Space is limited. florencegriswoldmuseum.org/programs-events/#Travel
