Our manuscripts in exhibition 'Bigger Picture' BRUSK
'Bigger Picture - Connected Worlds of Bruges 900-1550' shows how medieval Bruges was connected to the wider world. The exhibition will also feature numerous manuscripts, including books from the Mmmonk corpus.
Bruges developed throughout the Middle Ages as a world city, a hub in global networks of trade, culture and politics. At its peak, Bruges seemed to be the epicentre of the world. But the city was never isolated. Bruges was constantly in contact with other regions and cultures through trade, travel, faith and ideas. And it was precisely these connections that gave it an important role in world history.
The prestigious inaugural exhibition ‘Bigger Picture’ explores these connections. What mark did traders from Scandinavia, crusaders from Jerusalem or scholars from the Islamic world leave on the Flemish city, and vice versa?
