Musea Brugge is a Cultural Heritage institution in the Flemish Community.
MB's activities are founded on continuous interplay between museum, man and society. MB is aware of its position in society. Today's hot topics are an important part of the museum's activities. With permanent interaction between museum-man-society, MB ensures contemporary museum governance which demonstrates engagement and involvement. Thanks to this extrovert approach, the organisation keeps up with our rapidly changing society.
The Bruges museums are essential, dynamic places in the city, where everyone is welcome. They are meeting places, where permanent presentations and exhibitions stimulate the audience, and a memorable experience. MB aims to touch visitors with things that they see and do, so they are encouraged to think more deeply and discuss them together.
MB believes strongly in collaboration and connection. With the public, both present and future, and with different partners, (inter)national visitors, researchers and artists. MB is engaged and committed. Although MB manages heritage that dates back to Roman times, its collections are more relevant than ever. MB wants to know ever more about the collection, by conducting profound and pioneering scientific research in order to discover the many stories behind each object. With these stories, we appeal to an increasingly diverse audience.
MB continues to strongly develop its local, regional, national and international activities. Both front of stage and behind the scenes, MB keeps advancing and strives for the highest possible level, founded on the strengths: historic and inspiring venues, a world-famous iconic collection, an excellent exhibition programme, global appeal and a professional team.
We aim to make our museums and monuments an open house for getting together, experiences, dialogue and creation for everyone. A place where we remove as many physical and mental barriers as we can and that is founded on the principle of equality.
Musea Brugge is truly dedicated to diversity and inclusion, so much in fact that we consider this to be at the heart of our activities. It is only possible to be properly inclusive if the unique character of each individual is recognised and welcomed, and supported by a policy framework.
Musea Brugge is an open house where we promote a dialogue with society, participate in self-reflection and aim to reflect diverse perspectives in exhibitions and programmes.
These diverse perspectives are achieved in our programme because of our efforts in establishing new partnerships.
Musea Brugge aims to create a ‘safe(r) space’ where visitors and staff feel respected and protected.
We continue to build a team that reflects the diverse community that we welcome, whereby we actively strive for the inclusion of different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We focus on equality and demand a culture of respect, transparency and cooperation regardless of your place in the organisation. By embracing diversity in our staff deployment and listening to the internal diversity of voices, we not only strengthen our team, but also our capacity for innovation, creativity and empathy.
Musea Brugge connects art, culture, heritage and people. And all at 13 unique sites within the walls of the city.
Connect to contemporary and classical visual art, historic buildings, the best views and exclusive exhibitions. From clogs to Van Eyck. From stained glass to Magritte. From yesterday to today. Whether you venture out alone, with children, or in a group.
Ready, set, go!
Once upon a time, everything began with a dot.
The Madonna of Van Eyck, l’Attentat of Magritte, the Ursula Reliquary of Memling.
Each one a dot in our unique and ever-expanding collection.
Dots that we want to connect.
With each other. With the visitor. With the world.
Because when you connect things, something new is created.
New ideas, new meetings, new perspectives.
Perhaps even a new Madonna.
Let’s connect the dots.
