To celebrate its opening in 2025, BRON Research Centre (Musea Brugge), in collaboration with the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels), is organising a two-day conference on new and ongoing research on the oeuvre of Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling.
In 2023 the first phase of the research project Closer to Memling commenced. Closer to Memling is a project initiated by Musea Brugge in collaboration with other institutions to thoroughly examine the 9 works by Hans Memling in its collection. The aim of this project and conference is to contextualise previous studies and stimulate new research on the painter in an interdisciplinary exchange between leading and new scholars in the field. Please consult the call for papers for more information.
Registration will open in 2025
The scientific programme will be published around April/May 2025
