We went to the exhibition a month ago. No need for reservations, at
least not with us. But you can reserve simply at the FNAC Belgium on
http://www.fnac.be/agenda/asp/fna_fic.asp?pag=1&id=4900&tit=bosch or
in Holland at
http://www.onstage.nl/onstage/0,2083,1615_1132%5E1129-68286,00.html
Try the FNAC in Paris, maybe they also reserve.
Now, i hope nobody flames me, but I found the whole Bosch exhibition a
big flop. Flop in the sense that there are only a few original Bosch
displayed (in a very origanlly and special way, i admit). 90 % of the
exhibition shows only Bosch contemporaries, Bosch atelier works, pupil
works and some contemporary tributes and homages. It's the first time
that an exhibition in Boymans van Beuningen disppointed us. Usually we
are enthusiastic. Sic transit gloria mundi...
You can also phone at +3110 - 44 19 400 or fax +3110 - 43 60 500
The exhibition lasts only until 11th of November
Tuesday to Sunday 09.00 - 18.00

Yes, there is no problem to buy a ticket directly at the museum. I was there
on the 23rd September and did just this. If you want to avoid the crowds in
front of the Bosch originals, make sure that you are there at 9 am :) (I found
the "surrounding" art works - copies of the master's works or different takes
at the same topics - sometimes even more interesting than the Bosch himself).

Bosch's known oeuvre consist of just 33 works, divided over the world's
art collections as follows. As I understand it from the pages at
www.boschuniverse.com, the works marked with an * can be found at the
exibition. That's 15 works, nearly half of the artist's oeuvre! That's
not so bad, is it?

Thank you very much Jack, Maarten and Daria,
I'll try to reserve at the FNAC.
I've already been to all the museums quoted by
Marteen except ROTTERDAM, Frankfurt, Lazaro Galdiano and Palacio Real
in Madrid. So that's not so much important for me if there is only
half of Bosch 33 paintings even if I can't remember very well now
those in Venice Palazzo Ducale for ex. In fact I want to take
advantage of the exhibition to visit too Rotterdam, the Boymans van
Beuningen museum and to return to Brussels to see several things that
I didn't have time to see the last time like Horta buildings, the
Manekenpis (spelling?), etc... Then I'll finish my holidays with 3
weeks of archeological diggings of a gaul village. Hope the weather
will keep dry but it's getting colder since few days...
thank you again.

PS : Those in Paris who are interested in Raphael (he made only 80
paintings without the frescoes) can see most of his portraits : the
Fornarina (newly and beautifully restored), the Velata, the unicorn
lady, Baldassare Castiglione, his selfportrait with a friend, etc, in
the exhibition of the Luxembourg museum in Paris (a dozen of paintings
+ drawings).
See Jack website.

hoped to see some of the famous tryptics of the Prado, Vienna or
Lisbon for ex. but I agree that the "surrounding" art works can be
interesting too. To push that statement to the extremes, it reminds me
a little the very sharp critics of a well known foreign art magazine,
never tender with Paris exhibitions in general..., wich found
atrocious Georges de La Tour exhibition at the Grand Palais few years
ago mainly because only the dozen of copies of the LOST Saint
Sebastian were presented to remind this painting, famous at its time
because king Louis XIII apreciated it so much that he puts it right in
his bedroom to contemplate it from his bed, while the absolute
TOTALITY of La Tour oeuvre was presented except the last rediscovered
one in "indivision" (if I remember well) between different owners but
who were facing each other in a trial about its property and
consequently couldn't obviously... "agree together" according to the
legal status of french "indivision" to lend (prêter?) it to the
exhibition at the great "despair" of the above mentionned magazine.

I was in Brugge, Belgium two years ago and went to a museum (sorry, I
don't recall the name) where I saw a Bosch. I don't see any museums in
Brugge having Bosch paintings on your list. Was this painting just on loan?
The museum was along the canal and had a number of great paintings. Would
love to go back.

In any case, go by yourself to the HORTA HOUSE, rue Américaine 23-25
Opening hours-From 2pm to 5.30pm (closed on Mondays and Holidays). Not
to miss. Take the tram , ask any driver which no. tram to take.
For the others try to get some tour at the tourist office! Other
houses Art Nouveau not to miss are:
CAUCHIE HOUSE, 5, avenue des Francs, Etterbeck by CAUCHIE in 1905
Cauchie is one the masters of the sgraffito art. (A sgraffito is
basically a color drawing into cement, this technic was very popular
at that time in Belgium). He designed his house as a shop window of
his art.
TASSEL HOUSE, rue Paul Emilie Janson by HORTA (1892-1893)
http://www.nga.gov/feature/nouveau/teach/slide_11fs.htm for an idea of
the hallway!!
STOCLET PALACE, 279-281, avenue de Tervuren, Woluve St Pierre by
HOFFMANN in 1910-12
The Stoclet Palace is considered sometimes as the first Art Deco work
because of its geometrical shape which is not very Belgian although
the Belgian Art Nouveau has become more and more geometrical after
1903. It was built by Hoffmann, a viennish architect who created the
Wienner Werkstate. This palace was designed until the ultimate detail
including the tea spoons, the bathrooms,... The paintings were
designed by Klimt himself.
MUSIC MUSEUM (Ex Old England departement store), 2, rue Montagne de la
cour, Bruxelles by SAINTENOY in 1899. An All iron and glass building.
It is now transformed into a museum.
HOTEL SOLVAY 1895. 224 Avenue Louise in Brussels,1894-1903, Horta's
greatest residential work. Unfortunately, the sophisticated facade is
quite difficult to capture completely on film, being on a narrow,
tree-lined street.
FLOWER SHOP, 13, rue Royale, Bruxelles by HANKAR in 1898. The most
exhuberant shop window you will ever see. You will understand what
curve means.

There are several museums in Belgium with H.Bosch paintings. To start
with BRUGES in the "Groeninghe museum": next to Hans Memling, Gerard
David, Hieronymus Bosch, Brueghel and other Flemish "primitives".
For the rest of Brugge and pictures see
http://www.jack-travel.com/Belgium/Html/BrugesMain_Page.htm
Then Brussels in the "Musée d'Art Ancien , 3 rue de la Régence, tel
03508 32 11 with an large collection of works dating from the
fifteenth century and continuing up to the nineteenth century.
Highlights include an important collection of Pieter Bruegel
paintings, including Landscape with the Fall of Icarus and Winter
Landscape with Skaters and a Bird Trap, as well as a fine collection
of paintings and sketches by Rubens. Other notable works include a
medieval copy of St Anthony's Temptation by Hieronymusch Bosch,
paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Memling and Jordaens,
etc........
Or see the rest of Brussels and pictures see on

If you want a good book about H. Bosch buy : Hieronymus Bosch by Gary
Schwartz (New York: Abrams 1997 )

I'm back. I apreciated the exhibition wich, at the exceptions of the
triptychs, presented most of the other important works. I enjoyed it,
the "surroundings" paintings included and particularly Bosch drawings
(or attributions) allowing very interesting comparisons. The
beautifull Bosch of Venice palazzo ducale were presented too.
I completed the exhibition with Bosch's Calvary in Brussels ancient
arts museums wich is really interesing too. It took me 6 hours... to
visit it. I was particularly interested by the wonderfull Bruegel
(like in Wien) or Cranach, the flemish school (primitives + Rubens,
Jordaens, Van Dick and wonderfull still lives) as well as the moderns
: Ensor, Magritte, Delvaux
and Dali's temptation of Saint Anthony, Marat death by David or XIX th
c. belgians like Navez, etc...
