Path of Virtues: a collaboration between MSK Ghent and the BJO

This fusion of art, music and spirituality is the first collaboration between the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) and Brussels Jazz Orchestra.

The orchestra asked young talent Lennert Baerts to compose music built around and inspired by the iconic painting by the Van Eyck brothers: the Ghent Altarpiece (or the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb). During a walk with headphones, the museum visitor traverses the collection, guided by a composition in seven parts: Mass of Seven Virtues. The music keeps the visitor company at the restoration studio of the Ghent Altarpiece and seven carefully chosen places in the museum. Parth of Virtues is a walk past seven works of art, linked to seven virtues and seven reflections.

Take advantage of winter holidays and weekends to enjoy this unique musical experience.

Available from 12 November 2024 to all visitors to the permanent collections of the MSK in Ghent.
