    "description": "The Museum Mayer van den Bergh in Antwerp is<br />\na house full of art. Intriguing art that inspires<br />\nwonder and emotion. Today, the museum is internationally<br />\nrenowned as the home of Pieter Bruegel<br />\nthe Elder\u2019s famous painting Mad Meg. To loyal fans,<br />\nit is a cherished, well-kept secret. Visitors always<br />\nmarvel at how so much beauty was gathered in one<br />\nplace. Who amassed this unique collection? And<br />\nhow and why was this museum established?<br />\nThe museum is a monument to two people:<br />\nHenri\u00ebtte Mayer van den Bergh (1838\u22121920) and<br />\nher son, Fritz Mayer van den Bergh (1858\u22121901).<br />\nFritz, a man who took a keen interest in the Middle<br />\nAges and the Renaissance, assembled the entire<br />\ncollection. After Fritz\u2019s untimely and unexpected<br />\ndeath, his mother Henri\u00ebtte had a new building<br />\ndesigned to hold his artworks. In so doing, she<br />\nsucceeded in preserving this exceptional collection<br />\nin one place, while also keeping the memory of<br />\nher son alive.<br />\nThis book explores the world of collectors, antiques<br />\ndealers, art historians and museum founders<br />\nduring the belle \u00e9poque. Ulrike M\u00fcller delves deep<br />\ninto the archives to tell the story of the Museum<br />\nMayer van den Bergh and its founders: their family<br />\nbackground, their international network, their<br />\npassions and their modus operandi.",
