'Experience Bouts' on tablet. You can watch Saint Peter’s Church burning, walk along with Jesus and his disciples and look from up close at the bones of the first Duke of Brabant. Or so it appears.

'The Last Supper' and 'The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus' by Dieric Bouts will be back on display in St Peter's Church from Wednesday 8 May.

Innovative experience

With an iPad in your hand, you are immersed in the stories of Leuven, Flemish Brabant, Saint Peter's Church and the masterpieces that are home to it. Augmented reality puts you right in the middle of 'The Last Supper' by Dieric Bouts, or you relive the fire of 1914 in the church - the perfect way to discover the enormous wealth of stories.

Experience Bouts

M is ready to guide you through the fascinating story of this magnificent church – a highlight of Brabant Gothic architecture – and to help you renew your acquaintance with its art treasures: a unique collection of Flemish masterpieces still in their original location. These treasures are brought to life as part of a powerful and innovative experience.

Dieric Bouts, together with the Van Eyck brothers, is among the most important Flemish primitives and therefore a major representative of our cultural heritage. The HoloLens catapults you back to Leuven of the 1400s and lets you be part of 'The Last Supper', the absolute number one work by Bouts.
