Maagdenhuismuseum, Gothic art museum in Lange Gasthuisstraat, Belgium.
The Maagdenhuismuseum exhibits fine art collections within its white stone walls, featuring ornate bas-reliefs across its Gothic facade.
Established in 1552 as an orphanage for young girls, the building transformed into a museum in 1884, starting with a collection of 84 paintings.
The museum displays works by Peter Paul Rubens and Jacob Jordaens alongside historical artifacts that document the daily routines of former orphanage residents.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00-13:00 and 14:00-17:00, with closures on Mondays and public holidays.
The museum preserves original items from its orphanage period, including porridge bowls, children's dresses, and identification markers used by the young residents.
