The Royal Museums comprise the Old Masters Museum, Modern Museum, Magritte Museum, and Fin-de-Siècle Museum, as well as the Wiertz and Meunier Museums. Together, the galleries cover more than 500 years of Western art. The focus is largely on artists from Belgium and the southern Netherlands, with works ranging from the Old Masters to surrealist art and modern sculpture.
Explore the museums independently on a self-guided tour, or hire a guide for deeper insight into the art. If time is limited and you want to weave the museums into a wider itinerary, choose a private Brussels tour that lets you combine your chosen gallery with sights such as the Grand-Place. Alternatively, pass the main museums on a food tour, or take a hop-on hop-off tour to slot a museum visit into your own personal sightseeing schedule.
