Flemish art and architecture works of art and structures produced in the region of Europe known for centuries as Flanders . Netherlandish art is another term sometimes used for these works. Art produced in Flanders achieved special eminence c.1200 and in the 15th and 17th cent. Flanders was among the most culturally productive regions at other times as well. For a small city, Bruges has an impressive collection of art. In addition to the main museum, the Groeningemuseum, with its collection of Flemish primitives, there is the Memling Museum, dedicated to the 15th century, Frankfurt-born artist who studied in Bruges. The Gruutehusemuseum, housed in the 15th century palace of the Lords of Gruuthuse, has a wonderful collection of applied arts, musical instruments and weapons. Being the best preserved medieval city in Flanders, there is gorgeous architecture to admire virtually everywhere you wander in Bruges. Start at the Markt, with its gabled buildings and Belfry, then wander south to the Beguinage before wending your way back to walk along Dijver, through the Vismarkt to the Burg, historically the most important square in Bruges, where it is possible to see 700 years of architecture in the following styles: Romanesque & Neo-Gothic (Basilica of the Holy Blood), Gothic (City Hall), Renaissance (Old Recorders' House), Baroque (Provost's House) and Classic (Old Country House of the 'Brugse Vrije').
