Photo exhibition 'In the Picture'

Museum Mayer van den Bergh has hundreds of photographs from the family archives – fascinating images that offer a glimpse of Fritz Mayer van den Bergh’s life. During the exhibition you can see some of these photos, two photo albums and a presentation showing a big part of the collection. Ofcourse, there will also be an explanation with each photo.

However, the stories behind them are not always clear: who were these people? How were they connected to the Mayer van den Bergh family? And where were the pictures taken? The museum would love to answer these questions so we can get to know the collector and his family a little better. That’s where you come in: do you have any information that might help? If so, please share it with us.

In 2020, the foundress of this wonderful house will be the focus of a major anniversary. Together with the University of Antwerp and the ARIA organisation, we will be staging a variety of projects around these evocative photographs in the coming five years.

This presentation is your first, personal introduction to the everyday world of Fritz Mayer van den Bergh. We hope you enjoy it!
