Arentshuis, Art museum in Bruges, Belgium.

The Arentshuis is a former museum in a two-storey classical building at Dijver 16, its cream facade above a grey-blue base and a steep grey roof with a dormer. Four tall arched panels with dark figurative scenes sit left of five small-paned windows, and a porch on four blue-grey columns shelters the glazed door. Its west wing bridges the Bakkersrei canal, and the Arentshof garden lies to the south.

The house originally belonged to the Gruuthuse estate west of the canal until it was separated in 1662 and bought by A. Vander Zijpe. Rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century, it gained an oculus in the west facade in 1785 and Egyptian-style portal columns in the 19th century. The city expropriated it in 1906–1908, replaced the wooden canal bridge with a stone one, and opened it as a museum in 1910. Frank Brangwyn donated part of his work in 1936; the museum closed in 2023.

The house takes its name from Aquilin Arents de Beerteghem, owner in the last quarter of the 19th century, who reworked its classicist interiors toward a romantic-classical style. The south salons keep late-classicist decoration, the north side neoclassical work, and the roof structure dates from the 17th century. The museum closed in 2023.

The museum closed in 2023, so the Brangwyn collection and the ground-floor exhibitions are no longer on view. The building stands at Dijver 16, its west wing bridging the Bakkersrei canal, with the Arentshof garden adjoining to the south. The museum shop was housed in the former coach house of the Arentshof.

The museum closed in 2023, but the building remains a protected monument since 5 December 1962 and architectural heritage since 14 September 2009. Its west wing bridges the Bakkersrei canal, and the former coach house of the Arentshof now holds the museum shop.
