Museum Mayer van den Bergh

The Museum Mayer van den Bergh preserves about four hundred photographs from founder Fritz Mayer van den Bergh's estate. The original context of the 1900s has been lost. In a research project by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (in collaboration with ARIA, the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts), which resulted in an exhibition, the historical and artistic perspectives on the archive were interwoven, and young photographers entered into a dialogue with the historical images.
