For the summer campaign 'Classics for classics', Musea Brugge has gathered together four Bruges ambassadors, all local heroes with a fondness for art and fries: Wannes Loosveldt (festival organiser), Maria Kleopatra (model and dj), Sali Haidara (actress) and Pieter Lonneville (chef at Tête Pressée). We asked about their favourite fried snack and artworks from our collection. Discover their classics and get inspired.
My Classics? A small order of fries with ketchup and mayonnaise, a Bicky Chickless and a vegetarian frikandel from Faluche. 'The Assault' by Magritte, 'Woman in Interior' by George Vantongerloo, Roger Raveel's 'Man Seen from Behind' and 'An Oriental Story' by Edgard Tytgat at the Groeninge Museum.
A small order of fries with a cheese croquette and mozzarella sticks from 't Brugsch Friethuys, Michelangelo's 'Madonna and Child', the mausoleums of Mary of Burgundy and Charles the Bold and 'The Calling of Matthew' by Jacob Van Oost in the Church of Our Lady.
A small one with Sause, Bosrand beer and a "fire eater" at the Bosrand, and the impressive Gothic Hall, the Zwintafel and 'Napoleon Bonaparte' by Joseph Odevaere at the City Hall.
My all-time Classics: a small one with satay seasoning, joppie sauce, a shrimp croquette and chicken fingers from frituur Rakontiki as well as Louis Delacenserie's fantastic fireplace, the St Peter's needle and Pieter Beuckels' 'Oath of the tailors' at the Gruuthuse Museum.
