In 2023 the first phase of the research project Closer to Memling commenced. Closer to Memling is a project initiated by Musea Brugge in collaboration with other institutions to thoroughly examine the 9 works by Hans Memling in its collection. The aim of this project and conference is to contextualise previous studies and stimulate new research on the painter in an interdisciplinary exchange between leading and new scholars in the field.
