One of the best European destinations for art lovers is BrusselsAnd it is that the Belgian capital has many museums and a large number of buildings that are authentic architectural wonders. A city that is very much worth visiting not only for this but for everything it can offer you, although today I want to focus on museums dedicated to art.
You can find a large number of art museums in Brussels, so I leave you with the most important so that you can organize a route through all of them if you are going to be in the city. Take note:
– Museum of Fine Arts: It is one of the most important in the world in this area as it houses an extensive and magnificent collection of Baroque, Flemish and Dutch art. You can find numerous paintings, tapestries and sculptures that are also part of the Museum of Ancient Art and the Museum of Modern Art, linked together by an underground passage.
– Museum of Modern Art: It is in the Place Royale and you can enjoy the best of the art that was gathered in Brussels in the 20th century, with a collection arranged thematically and chronologically and which has one of the best exhibitions by René Magritte, which makes it a must see.
– Cinquantenaire museum: Also known as the Museum of Art and History, there you can find 4 large collections of ancient art, the most important being the one with many Egyptian works of art such as mummies or sarcophagi. The other collections focus on the Middle East, the Roman civilization, and the Greek civilization.
– Antoine Joseph Wiertz Museum: It is on Rue Vautier and is entirely dedicated to the work of the Belgian artist who bears his name. In fact, it was Wiertz himself who began to collect his pieces in 1850 in order to give life to this museum.
– Charlier museum: It houses a large amount of Renaissance furniture, rugs, tapestries and porcelain.
