The modern sction of the Art Gallery was closed but the Museum of Historical Art makes up for it. There is an excellent collection of Flemish and Dutch old masters paintings especially those of Pieter Bruegel junior, Hans Memling, Lucas Cranach amongst others. There are the "horror" paintings of Bruegel and Hieronymus Bosch. The art of portrait painting that started... More

The museum continues to advertise both 'ancient' art and 'modern' sections, but when we got to the ticket desk we were told that the latter was closed (and subsequently we discovered that it has been closed for some time and may never open). Yet the ticket price remains the same! In the end we bought a combo ticket for the... More

I really liked the variety of this museum. The works were nicely displayed, the atmosphere is nice and the collection is quite extensive. We used one of the museum guides who was very helpful, enthusiastic and made it a good stop in Brussels!

Great gift shop and restaurant. A little pricey on weekends. Kandensky exibit was available for $20 USD. More than what we pay in the States.

Along with the Musee Rene Magritte, this is a stunning collection of Flemish and European art. The café serves an excellent range of freshly prepared food all at very reasonable prices.

Time constraints meant I didnt get to visit the special kandinsky exhibit, which was a pity. It is housed in the same building at the Magritte... More

Saw both Census of Bethlehem by father and son and her some additional art finds Bosch, Patinir and then moving through the... More

I visited this museum and spend one half day. The collections are diverse but not too many. And unlike othet museums, it was not crowded in Sunday afternoon. So I enjoyed arts on my own pace. Particularly, the section of icons was amasing. If you have received an icon chirstmas card from the MET in new york, their originals were... More
