Bruges's Groeningemuseum holds 15 works by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Rubens painted on a grand scale — large altarpieces, mythological cycles — and his work assumes a physical relationship with the viewer. In person, the energy of his compositions is overwhelming: figures heave and turn, colours glow, the paint surface is fluid and alive.

Bruges is a small, walkable city — its main art institutions, including the Groeninge Museum and Memling in Sint-Jan, are all within the medieval centre. The Groeninge holds the finest collection of early Flemish primitives in the world. Most museums close on Mondays; a Bruges City Card is good value for multiple visits.
