Buy
a
combined
ticket
for
3
of
the
Royal
Museums
of
Fine
Arts
of
Belgium
for
15
euro
and
visit
the
same
day
the
Oldmasters
Museum,
the
Magritte
Museum
and
the
Fin-de-Siècle
Museum.
Must
see
paintings,
spend
at
least
2
hours
for
Magritte
and
another
2
or
3
for
the
Oldmasters.
The
Oldmasters
Museum
has
an
extensive
collection
of
European
paintings,
sculptures
and
drawings
from
the
15th
to
the
18th
centuries.
The
bulk
of
the
collection
is
formed
around
Flemish
painting,
presented
in
chronological
order.
For
example,
there
are
valuable
panels
by
the
Flemish
Primitives
(including
Bruegel,
Rogier
van
der
Weyden,
Robert
Campin
(the
Master
of
Flémalle),
Hieronymus
Bosch,
Anthony
van
Dyck,
and
Jacob
Jordaens).
The
museum
is
also
proud
of
its
"Rubens
Room",
which
houses
more
than
twenty
paintings
by
the
artist.
The
painting
Landscape
with
the
Fall
of
Icarus,
long-attributed
to
Bruegel,
is
located
there
and
forms
the
subject
of
W.
H.
Auden's
famous
poem
Musée
des
Beaux
Arts,
named
after
the
museum.
Located
in
the
heart
of
the
city
this
is
the
great
place
to
be
on
a
rainy
day!
