Of course we knew of the brothers van Lymborch, but to find out that they had learned their craft in this very spot under the guidance of their uncle, the famous medieval Dutch artist Johan Maelwael, was a real surprise. Our tour guide Henny did a great job explaining their story. The small museum shop is a treasure trove all by itself. I wish the volunteers who run the museum all possible success in procuring more official funding to continue archaeological research onsite.

Without much art experience or specialist knowledge, we spontaneously decided to take part in the tour. We were both pleasantly surprised to learn exciting stories and interesting background information about the Lymborch brothers. Thank you Arjen! Best regards from Germany

small but beautiful museum in the city centre of Nijmegen. discover the story of the Lymborch brothers and their uncle Johan Maelwael, who revolutionised the northern Renaissance at the French and Burgundian courts. the staff is passionate and knowing, you can ask anything you want! the museum is a must-see in Nijmegen, and it is right in the city centre!

We loved our tour of the birthplace of the lymbourg brothers. To think these three lads and their Uncle Johan Maelwael revolutionised the history of art in Europe. A terrific video followed by a talk by Theo and tour of the cellars proved most insightful. Best known for their Book of Hours Les Très Riches Heures these miniature paintings exhibited outstanding quality and depth of detail. Nijmegen still keeps these Masters of the Middle Ages a hidden secret. So much more can be done to publicise this unique talent more widely. A real gem. Just note that the tour commences at the start of the booking period - the booking slot is not a window of time to turn up later as we did - though they accommodated as gracefully. Well worth the visit.
