WHAT CAN I SEE/ DO AT THE ROYAL MUSEUMS OF FINE ARTS OF BELGIUM?

• Old Masters Museum: we take you on a journey through over 400 years of art history – from the 15th till the 19th century. During your visit, you will discover the old masters – such as Dirk Bouts, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Jacques-Louis David – and pass by all major art movements: from the Flemish Primitives, past the Baroque, all the way to Neoclassicism.

Dive into the poetic and mysterious universe of René Magritte by exploring his paintings, gouaches, drawings, sculptures and painted objects, as well as his advertising posters, musical scores, photographs and films!   
  
  
• Magritte Shop: offers a large selection of books about Magritte and his contemporaries, but also posters, postcards and original gift ideas.
  
  
• Museum Shop: one of the most beautiful art book stores in Brussels.
  
  
• Culinary pleasure: Tabl'O (in the weekend) for a quick lunch or a relaxing break, and the Art Club, the brand new restaurant by starred chef Yves Mattagne.
