Museum Sint-Janshospitaal and pharmacy Bruges

Bruges is not only canals and facades; Sint-Janshospitaal brings a twelfth-century care tradition, Hans Memling works and a seventeenth-century pharmacy into one site.

The former hospital was a place of hospitality and care; the art and pharmacy are not decoration but a way to understand how the city cared for travellers and patients.

Walking in from central Bruges is easy, but the exhibits need slow attention; it works better as part of a cultural half-day than a rushed stop.
