Amongst the most visited in Belgium, the Royal Beaux-Arts Museums have accelerated the tempo. In 2020, the cultural programming will showcase major exhibitions. Comprising the most important national collection of plastic arts, with 20,000 works, this network of 6 museums will put the spotlight on History, from the 15th to the 21st century, through paintings, sculptures and drawings.

An eclectic cultural program in Brussels

Since 1801, and their creation by Napoleon Bonaparte, visitors have a wide choice between the museums dedicated to Magritte, End of Century, Old Masters, Modern, Meunier and Wiertz to enhance the heritage of a prestigious patrimony, constantly enriched, which diversifies artistic approaches and initiatives. This year, experience, emotion and pleasure are more than ever on the agenda.
