📖

Full description

The Oldmasters Museum presents European painting from the 15th to the 18th centuries, with Flemish masters at its core: Bruegel the Elder and Rubens are among the names on the walls, alongside French and other artists. Reviewers praise how works are grouped across time and mention a white introductory room where Bruegel's art is projected.

Temporary exhibitions, such as one on gender and art, add variety to the permanent display. A 45-minute pass covers the highlights, though painting enthusiasts will want longer.

It sits in central Brussels and is easy to reach on foot.

It is an absolute must if you are a painting aficionado. Bruegel is present on the walls with other Flemish and French artist from all over the centuries. You’ll regret it if you skip this from your itinerary.
