Bruegel Prints

Online exhibition

Pieter Bruegel is probably the most important and most innovative artist from the 16th century. Besides being the painter of the world-famous 'Spreekwoorden' (Proverbs) and 'Dulle Griet' (Mad Meg), he was also a print designer. The Museum Plantin-Moretus has a print of almost all of his compositions.

On the road with Plantin. Travel in the 16th century

Focus-expo

In the spring and summer of 2021, we will be going on a journey. Plantin travelled a lot, but never for his own leisure. It was always business first. We will head off on business trips to Leiden, Paris and Frankfurt.
