COVID-19 measures

Take a stroll, get some fresh air, go around the block... at the museum. Taking all necessary precautions, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium partly reopen their doors and invite you for a walk through European art history.

WHEN WILL THE ROYAL MUSEUMS OF FINE ARTS REOPEN?

On Tuesday May 19th, we will reopen the Old Masters Museum. Visitors are invited to follow an outlined trail through the collection. The Museum Shop will also be open to the public.
We are preparing a step-by-step reopening of the Fin-de-Siècle Museum, Magritte Museum, Wiertz Museum and the Meunier Museum, always keeping an eye on the safety of both our visitors and staff.

HOW DO I BUY A TICKET?

We kindly ask visitors to buy their tickets online as much as possible. You can find our webshop here.

In case you can't buy tickets online, we will open the ticket counter as well as our ticketing machines. For hygienic reasons we currently only accept payment by card.

Free tickets and tickets with specific discounts can only be obtained at the ticket counter. Thank you for your understanding.
The following fares are available online: adults; seniors; students and disabled persons (and accompanying person)

We have decided to use a (strict) timeslot system during this period, in order to safely spread visitors throughout the day. You can start your museum visit up to one hour after the chosen timeslot. We kindly ask you to respect your slot as much as possible.
