Make the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium your primary destination for Belgian art. The Museums combine the efforts of six of Belgium’s most important art collections across four museums. The museums feature over 20,000 works from a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture and drawing. The upper floors of the gallery complex are home to the Ancient Art Museum of Brussels, while the eight underground floors feature 20th- and 21st-century collections as part of the Modern Museum.

Walk through the Old Masters collection to discover significant works from famous Flemish artists. Pieces by Rubens and Bruegel draw the most visitors to the exhibition since the Museums have become known as the definitive collection of Flemish art in Europe. Descend into the basements of the museum to reach eight subterranean floors of modern art. The gallery features an enduring permanent collection that includes many traditional Belgian comics and large-scale sculptures. Temporary and traveling exhibitions frequent the gallery. Some of the biggest touring exhibitions in the world regularly pass through here.

Three smaller museums are dedicated to the work of three influential Belgian artists: Constantin Muenier, Antoine Wiertz and Rene Magritte. While the Magritte Museum is at the main site, the Mueiner and Wiertz collections are housed several kilometers from the main building.
