The Art Collections

An inventory of the collections is currently being carried out using the adlib software so that data exchanges can be set up with other museums. The more important pieces will feature in a permanent exhibition on the Foundation’s website and other Belgian or foreign museums will be able to take the pieces out on loan and thus show them as part of their temporary or permanent exhibitions.

The Hamel collections are extremely rich and varied. They include some beautiful family portraits, 17th century still life paintings, carved wooden panels and valuable drawings. They also include pieces of Meissen porcelain and Brussels faience, a collection of plates bearing the coat of arms of the 18th century India Company, Delft vases, glasses in Bohemian crystal, silverware and medals.
