Planning an escape from Paris to Belgium started with a visit to Brussels, meeting artists and visiting the brand new Magritte Museum. Then Mr. MuseumChick and I couldn't decide if we should we do a day trip to Bruges or Antwerp?
The photogenic city of Bruges won and we planned our search for the best beer, the ultimate chocolate and the most fragrant sugar waffles we could find. And in between taste-testing all the sweets I made a visit to the most curious museum...a medieval hospital turned museum.
The Memling Sint-Janshospitaal Museum (St. John's Hospital) is the odd combination of a museum, a 13th century hospital and Baroque church. It is the oldest preserved hospital building in all of Europe and the museum inside gives the visitor a look at this medieval hospital ward in the time it functioned.
