Old masters
The department of Old masters has three main areas of focus.
Firstly, there is painting of the Southern Netherlands from the period c. 1475-1625, including Brueghel and Aertsen and other well-known artists.
Secondly, there is woodcarving from the Maas region from around the same period, represented mainly by the Maastricht woodcarver Jan van Steffeswert.
And thirdly, there is early Italian painting.
The Bonnefantenmuseum is also home to an important collection of mediaeval religious objects from all over Western Europe; the Willem Neutelings collection.
This section of the museum is temporarily closed.
A certain number of rooms on the first and second floors of the museum are temporarily closed, due to the installation of the entirely new collection presentation Augenspiel.
