Memling in Sint-Jan, Medieval art museum in Bruges, Belgium

The Sint-Jan museum displays a collection of Hans Memling's paintings within the halls of a former medieval hospital built in the 12th century.

The museum opened in 1950 to showcase works from Memling, who painted several masterpieces specifically for the Sint-Janshospitaal during the 15th century.

The exhibitions include detailed religious artworks, portraits, and the Saint Ursula Shrine, reflecting the artistic techniques of early Netherlandish painting.

Located at Mariastraat 38, the museum offers guided tours, multilingual information panels, and accessibility features for visitors with reduced mobility.

The museum preserves a complete 17th-century pharmacy, displaying original medicinal containers, equipment, and pharmaceutical manuscripts from the hospital's operation.
