Dear Ron,
Speaking of 'Hanseatic' centers...
Brugge (E Bruges) is one of the cultural city's in 2002. I have seen
already
some splendid exhibitions , like the one over the  Flemish primitives
and
Van Eyck. I think there is really one event that can interest the people
of
the 'lowlands' who happen to be in the region.
It is called "Brugge, wisselmarkt van culturen". Brugge was in the 14th
and
15th  century the most cosmopolitical city north of the Alps. It was the
meeting point between the  Nordic Hanzecity's and Southern Europe.And
now
there is an exposition about that history.
You can look for some explination at: HANZE at M€DICI.COM
The exhibition is in three places and around the town: The provincial
house,
the saaihalle (next to  the house of the 'Van der Beurze's' who gave
their
name in many languages for stock-exchange -because they were the first
to do
so- and hof Bladelin ,the former bank of the Medici's. There is also a
exact
copie of a medieval crane.
The exhibition is in cooperation with 'Nordrhein-Westfalen. You can
visit it untill the 8th of september.
