Museum Mayer van den Bergh Antwerp

Museum Mayer van den Bergh is one of Antwerp's most intimate and charming museums. It was founded by Henriëtte Mayer van den Bergh as a tribute to her son Fritz, a passionate art collector who died young. The museum houses his collection of more than 3,000 art objects, including the world-famous painting 'Dulle Griet' by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a medieval breviary, Flemish and Italian Renaissance paintings, sculptures and religious objects.

Accessibility is partial. The main entrance on Lange Gasthuisstraat has been adapted with a wheelchair ramp. The ground floor and first floor, where most of the collection is displayed including the famous Dulle Griet, are reachable via a spacious lift installed during the renovation. An adapted toilet is available on the ground floor. The top floor is only reachable via a historic staircase and not suitable for wheelchair users, but the main body of the collection is fully accessible.

The immediate area in Antwerp's historic centre has cobblestones, requiring care on the approach. Accessible parking spaces are located on the nearby Kammenstraat and the underground Parking Grote Markt has adapted spaces and a lift. The museum combines excellently with a visit to the Maagdenhuis Museum or the Rockox House, both a short distance away and partially accessible.
