Museum Mayer van den Bergh

Out and about with suitcases – kindergarten & primary education

Fritz Mayer van den Bergh was first and foremost a collector.  He was also one with a lot of energy, because during his short life he collected around 3,000 works of art. Fritz collected all kinds of art: paintings, sculptures, books, cupboards, … And he travelled all over Europe with his mother. These adventures are reflected in the warm and homely Museum Mayer van den Bergh, which is full of art treasures that never cease to amaze and enchant.
