Museum St John’s Hospital
Bruges, Belgium
St John’s Hospital brings together art and the history of care in one of Bruges’ most atmospheric museum settings. Hans Memling’s paintings are a major reason to visit, with several works still connected to the institution that commissioned them more than five centuries ago. The wider displays explore hospitality and healing through objects and contemporary art. Allow time for both the paintings and the building, rather than treating the museum as a single-masterpiece stop.
