The Limburgs Museum takes you back to the late Middle Ages through unknown stories of the Burgundians, using impressive loans from international museum collections.

The exhibition paints a historical picture, highlighting the lives of the Burgundians. Through objects, music and detailed stories, you are transported to 15th-century Limburg, home to Philip the Good, Charles the Bold and Mary the Rich, among others. Loans from the Musée du Louvre, Musée des Châteaux de Versailles, National Gallery London, Gemäldegalerie Berlin and the Rijksmuseum provide an even more comprehensive overview of this period.
