This museum was built by Henriëtte Mayer van den Bergh in honor of her son, Fritz, a fervent art collector who lived in Antwerp during the second half of the 19th Century. The building was constructed in 16th-century style, with late-Gothic and renaissance ornamentation on the façade reminiscent of Antwerp's Golden Age. Inside, the collection includes paintings from the 13th to 18th Centuries, including Mad Meg by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. There are also sculptures dating back to the 12th Century as well as silverware, bronze figures, and tapestries. The museum can be visited with a guide, and from time to time temporary exhibitions are organized.
