Its inaugural show, 'The Meeting of Masters' (until 30 September), combines the gallery's expertise in Flemish painting with its commitment to modern art, bringing together works by the Brueghel dynasty, Lucas Cranach the Younger, Frans Snyders and
David Teniers, with Magritte, Calder, Fontana and DubufTet.
The Dutch and Flemish works, by artist including Cornelius van Poelenburgh and
David Teniers will be in a new display.
