A visually stunning exploration of Bruges as a global crossroads: where art, trade, and culture shaped a world city.

Bigger Picture reveals the city’s long-standing place at the crossroads of global history. Far from being an isolated medieval town, Bruges has always thrived within a vast network of trade routes, cultural exchange, and political ties that stretched far beyond its borders. Through a carefully curated selection of remarkable objects, each a testament to historical encounters across continents, this book tells a rich, mosaic-like story of interconnectedness. It invites readers to explore Bruges from fresh and unexpected angles, shedding light on how local and global dynamics have shaped the city’s evolving identity as a world city.

Published to mark the festive opening of the new BRUSK museum in Bruges, Belgium, in May 2026.
