Step inside the world of Memling in the magnificent attic at Museum Sint-Janshospitaal. The Closer to Memling Experience by Musea Brugge brings the wonderful works of Memling to life. An interactive, audiovisual experience that playfully brings children - and adults - closer to the world-famous master.
In the magnificent attic at Museum Sint-Janshospitaal, you'll feel like you've stepped into another universe. Do you hear that? Splendid sounds inspired by polyphonic music from Memling's day guide you on a trip back in time. Take a seat at the hands-on table and dive into Memling's masterful universe. Using the power of your own imagination, you can make your own version of his paintings… and bring Memling to life.
What techniques did Memling use to create the illusion of perspective? What large and small stories are playing out in the background? And what is a patron saint? With interactive games, you are able to explore the secrets of the master.
The real eye-catcher in the Medieval attic is the impressive screen stretching almost five metres by five. Give your imagination free rein and transform the gigantic screen into a unique piece of group art featuring the wonderful works of Hans Memling.
Recent scientific research, hand in hand with the latest technologies, brings us closer to the master than ever before. Five-hundred years after he turned the art world upside down. Watch out, you'll never look at Memling's nine iconic masterpieces on the ground floor of Museum Sint-Janshospitaal and in the Groeningemuseum in the same way again.
The fun Closer to Memling Experience has been especially designed for creative and curious kids aged 7 plus. Access is included in your museum ticket for Museum Sint-Janshospitaal.
