Noordbrabants Museum

Reviewed By Lopsock - Letchworth, United Kingdom

When we visited a lot of the permanent collection had been cleared for two temporary exhibitions - Loving Vincent (why we’d come to Den Bosch this time) and Garden of Earthly Delights. Both were fascinating and very well curated. Both also finish soon, but I would heartily recommend the museum on the basis of how these exhibitions were presented. Has a good restaurant, too, which always helps.

Jheronimus Bosch Art Center

The body of work produced by Hieronymus Bosch can be found in museums and collections across the world. But the only place to find high-quality reproductions of all of his works is the Jheronimus Bosch Art Center in the city where the late-Mediaeval painter lived and worked his whole life. Come and admire the impressive exhibition set in a magnificent church building and you'll understand one visitor's summary of the experience: "I’ve learned a lot of Jerome Bosch. He is a great, and the most creative painter ever in history. This is a museum must see." Barely a quarter of an hour's walk from the station and just five minutes from St. John's Cathedral, this original and refreshing museum is home to all of Bosch's works and more. The reproductions can be found on the ground floor, while the other floors house collections of contemporary art, all inspired by Bosch himself. You can also take the lift to the very top floor of the tower for a fantastic view over the city.
