The museum is a real find. It was on our list because of the Breugels (Dulle Griet/ Census at Bethlehem) and of course these were incredible but we found so much more. As the guy below said, the cherrystone necklace- wow- each individually carved and little faces on them- fabulous. The wooden carvings on arrival are superb, the flow of... More

The oldest painting in the Netherlands is held in this building, and the stained glass, wallpaper, and furnishings upstairs make this a mix of a gorgeous mansion and a private museum. I loved it.

This museum deserves its rating on the strength of Brueghel's Dulle Griet alone, but it contains many other treasures that reflect the taste of the man who assembled this collection. It is housed in a mansion that has been adapted for museum use and has recently acquired a new wing used for special exhibitions. It is well worth spending a... More

Buy a joint ticket with the Rubens House to get a deal. There is a lot of stuff here, some of it not so great and labeling is minimal. However when we reached the Breughel room upstairs our visit seemed totally worth while. Awesome paintings!

The English guide was good to get for free but it was difficult at first to identify the room you were in & then the exhibits described. You can get a combined ticket with the Rubens House. We didn't realise that... More

The Mayer van den Bergh Museum I would characterize as a smaller museum, but its holdings make it major in terms of how much wonderful material there is to see. It took me a while to get my bearings in this museum, though - the English booklet we were given were not very helpful, partly because we couldn't match up... More

Very nice old building which has a nice collection of old painters. Don't miss Pieter Bruegel's Dulle Griet !

It took me 25 years to visit this place. Because for most of that time, the museum looked simply too classical for me. An old interior of the beginning of the 20th century, leather and gold on the walls, dark paintings. But now I am wiser and older. This is a fantastic place. With even some sculptures from the 13th... More
