Another 3 works Musea Brugge on Flemish Toppieces List

These are the paintings ‘L’attentat’ (René Magritte) and ‘Manolete’ (Luc Peire) and the sculpture ‘Solar tracks, a sun of our galaxy with two of its planets’ (Georges Vantongerloo). “The recognition is once again proof that not only our Flemish Masters, but also our modern collection is very high,” said Nico Blontrock, Alderman for Culture. “We are also proud that a total of no fewer than 84 works from our world-renowned collection are now part of the Top Pieces List of the Flemish Community.”

The Masterpieces List is a list of objects or collections that are considered rare and indispensable because of their archaeological, historical, cultural-historical, artistic or scientific significance. The Masterpieces Decree imposes a number of obligations on the owner of the masterpieces. At the same time, it also offers guarantees for ownership and possession rights. For example, the decree sees the owner as a partner in the preservation of the heritage. That is why the Masterpieces Decree also provides a subsidy scheme for masterpieces for digitisation, conservation and restoration.
