Mem Zero Art Museum is located in an ancient hospital in Europe - St. John's Hospital, which is only open to believers and poor people. It was built in the 12th-17th centuries and reopened after repairs. The museum uses a part of the hospital building to display the main works and materials of Memling who was active in Bruges, especially the "Holy Relic Box of St. Ursula", which is known as one of the seven treasures of Belgium. Mem Zero Art Museum also reproduces the daily life of the hospital in the gorgeous old ward through the collection of oil paintings, sculptures, furniture and decorative art. The pharmacy built in the 17th century in the original monastery has been completely preserved and is also worth a visit!
