Fodor's Review:

Stedelijk Museum Wuyts-Van Campen en Baron Caroly, a lovely provincial museum, is home to the extraordinary Vlaamse Gezegdan (Flemish Proverbs), painted in 1607 by Pieter Bruegel the Younger. In it you can find representations of some 85 Flemish proverbs. One such adage warns about the woman who's "carrying water in one hand and fire in the other," meaning someone who's fickle and cannot be trusted. Also on display is Jan Steen's splendid Vechtender Boeren (Squabbling Peasants), as well as works by such artists as Maurice De Vlaminck and Henri De Braekeleer.

  • Cost: EUR 1
  • Open: Tues.-Sun. 10-noon and 1-5
