We don’t do this by ourselves. Together with our tourism partners, we work to allow Flanders to flourish as an innovative, high-quality travel destination and to inspire potential visitors to put the region at the top of their bucket lists. Our ultimate goal? Using tourism to help Flanders flourish as a destination! We do so both for our residents and entrepreneurs and for you, our visitors. We pay special attention to sustainability, accessibility and family-friendliness.
We focus on the intense experience of a place, a destination. This can involve meaningful encounters, specific activities or a sustainable travel formula. Instead of concentrating on a specific city or region, we develop broader Flemish narratives based on interdependent themes. Wherever possible, we combine these themes to further strengthen people’s experience. Welcome to Flanders!

What a gift. The close ups are truly amazing.

[@elaineharris3920]

Excellent speaker - accomplished, informative and using his considerable knowledge lightly. He draws us in. Camera worked beautifully with the commentary.

[@peteradamson46]

This was a treat - thank you to all concerned. The close ups really added a lot, and what a pleasure to have a narrator so unpretentious yet so knowledgeable. Grisaille work was incredible - almost made sculpture redundant! The exhibition is a great reminder that the Italians weren't having it all their own way in the first half of he 1400s.

[@josephzeng3520]

This exhibition is so excellent - great idea, great paintings, great research, and great narrations. Thank you for making it online so we can visit without going there in person.

I was not able to visit this wonderful exhibition because of health problems. I am now very pleased to visit it with an excellent guide. Thank you very much to give us this opportunity during this difficult times.

[@evgeniasasha9099]

Thank you so much for this opportunity .I am overwhelmed and really grateful being able to visit virtually this extremely fascinating exhibition of an artist like Jan van Eyck. Speechless . It's really generous gesture, well, in the spirit of the time. Thank you again

[@jfleming6656]

Wow That was awesome. Not only did I get to see famous works of art but the narrator made them even more beautiful. From Kansas 🌻🇺🇸. Finding positive in the storm.

[@trixxieland1789]

Till-Holger Borchert's expertise and educational style was a pleasure to watch. I learned so much about Jan van Eyck. What a treat. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You covered so much in such a short amount of time. I appreciate it.

[@marianneritavanvliet4554]

Thank you. Very special to see the museum in private in the situation we live at the moment.

[@debramoss2267]

Oh, what a sublime joy it is to be able to see this and hear the treasure of your knowledge. Thank you so much!

This should be what people in lockdown should watch. Educational, scientific and beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and entertain myself with this wonderful exhibition.

Monumental gift to humanity. I have always wanted to visit your museum. Expertly curated. I hope more people see it and recommend it to others. Very happy. Shall watch it again and again.

[@robynwilliams8110]

I would never gave had the opportunity to visit this exhibition and I knew very little about the work of Van Eyk. I am blown away by the beauty of some of these paintings. I suppose it is a frivolous thing - but the depiction of the textiles and jewels is exquisite. I particularly loved the angel with the rainbow wings - it is not only the little girls of the 21st Century who love rainbow wings!

[@sandrasharby8405]

Thank you for the opportunity to see and learn about this wonderful master.

[@bluewren65]

It's quite shocking to see just how small many of these intricate paintings are in actuality. A true master. Thank you for sharing this tour.

[@createscapedesignstudio8178]

Thank you from Canada. The painted sculptures are amazing.

[@scottwaldon2577]

So incredibly kind of the Museum voor schoene Kunsten Ghent for sharing this totally incredible exhbition with us all. I shed a tear for I would so much have loved to be able attend in person to see and experience the greatest ever assembled collection of Van Eyck's works. Your loss of revenue due to the virus is simply tragic. I sought out your exhbition catalogue and purchased online to try and repay in some way to you my appreciation for your efforts to raise awareness in the arts through sharing and warm hearted wise and passionate staff and volunteers. Sincere thanks again.

[@Bovinecentury]

Thank you for this! My wife and I are another couple who had our tickets for the exhibition booked, hotel secured and train tickets in the bag when lockdown struck. It's wonderful to be able to have a sense of what we missed.

[@daniellejohnson8778]

yes thank you, Borchert and the people who filmed and uploaded this, Im a big fan of museum art and seeing the paintings, sculptures and church-like masterpieces, phenomenally beautiful

[@susanhepburn6040]

Thank you so very much for giving us this wonderful online guided tour. It's so greatly appreciated.

[@swidrap1]

What a joy to see the works, how fantastic a talent to create such masterworks. Also a joy for me to listen to the gentleman curator who explained so clearly about the pictures. I really enjoyed his undramatic style and the prompts he gave so that he wasn't imposing his ideas on us merely giving interesting information and letting the view enjoy the work. Thank you so very much

Thank you for this first hand guide to Van Eyck's paintings! It's really rare having the chance to visit an exhibition guided by the curator himself! Also if it's a virtual experience, it's really worth watching it.

Thank you very much. I bought 7 tickets of this exhibitions for my family from Taiwan. With your excellent presentation at least now I know what I have missed. I am most grateful for your kind sharing and hopefully I can visit Ghent and Antwerp in not too remote future.

[@reevesmom]

Spectacular. I would have loved to have seen it. In 2005 I made a special trip to Ghent from Amsterdam just to see the Ghent Alterpiece. It was worth it! I wish your city, museum, staff, and everyone who worked on this exhibition could have shared it with the world as intended. Thank you for this thoughtful video!

[@annelambert9876]

Thank you so much for showing us this lovely exhibition- so important to enjoy art while in lockdown

Fantastic exhibit and delightful narration. Danke

[@nataliesnowdon7846]

What a joy to view, beautifully executed and brilliant commentary, thank you.

[@karimmarquette990]

Thank you so much. One silver lining of the Covid lockdown is that I have learned so much about art history online. I'd never be able to visit all the museums which are now available on KZbin. Also, with such wonderful commentaries. What a privilege.

[@lulucottontails]

Thank you so much Curator Borchert (whose English is faultless) and Museum voor Schone Kunsten for this wonderful video, thank you for sharing your expertise and for the great attention to detail. I look forward to visiting the museum when I'm able to visit. Thank you for educating & entertaining us during lockdown.

- Todo un honor haber asistido a esa exposición comentada, con todo lujo de detalles, sobre uno de los genios del Ars Nova flamenco. He disfrutado y aprendido con la espléndida presentación del comisario, y su sesudo análisis expositivo. Gracias también al realizador del programa. P.D.: ojalá sea éste el primero de una cadena sucesoria de diferentes museos.

[@richardcooper2618]

Thank you greatly for this tour. Its relative shortness is enhanced by the wish it go on even more. Tribute to the light, richly informative touch of the speaker. And also to the superb production values of the film as if parallel commentary on the fineness of Van Eyck's work. Bravo to all who have contributed to these images and narrative in our times of confinement.

[@jantjeschoormans]

Heel erg bedankt! Wat een schoonheid

[@ZOGGYDOGGY]

Thank-you. I have only seen a few paintings by Van Eyck. I have seen none of these. It was possible for me to stare into Van Eyck's paintings for sometimes as long a an hour and get a feel for life during feudal epoch. Van Eyck has been one of my favourite painters of all time and I thank-you again for allowing me and others to view his work, truly the work of an artistic master.

[@MrVoods]
