    Visite du musée impossible. Renseigné comme ouvert sur Museum pass, ouvert sur leur page internet d'accueil, ouvert sur leur page internet avec les horaires. Appel passé avant d'y aller et le répondeur ne mentionnait aucune fermeture. Pour savoir que ce musée était fermé, il fallait aller chercher la page internet des évènements (dixit le musée) ou, comme moi, le découvrir après le trajet, via une affichette sur la porte. Perte de temps, énergie déployée pour le transport en vain,... Choix de communication très étrange. Aussi, pour quelle raison fermer lors d'une période qui voit Bruxelles accueillir grand nombre de touristes ??

    This very quiet museum is less known in Brussels, but it has a nice Belgian collection: Alfred Stevens (1x), James Ensor (1x), Anna Boch (1x), Léon Frédéric (2x), Guillaume Van Strydonck, Antoine Wiertz, Constantin Meunier (nice work on the stairs), Jakob Smits (3 or more), Guillaume Vogels (1x), a lot of works/sculptures by Guillaume Charlier (the former owner of the building),... The well-known Belgian architect Victor Horta was involved in the renovation and expansion of the building that has been used as a museum since 1928. This museum is included in the list of more than 200 museums that can be visited with the museum pass (valid for one year) of 59 EUR.

    Really enjoyed this small museum in a house. You were allowed to walk around alone on two floors. Beautiful paintings and of course the sculptures by Charlier

    A museum in the heart of the city in a beautiful house, interactive works and sometimes a live cello and piano show. Very nice very quiet

    A wonderful, strange experience. I was able to wander around this eccentric, bourgeois Edwardian mansion on my own. It's got a Chinese room, some striking portraits and sculptures and some interesting porcelain. But go as early in the day that you can - the lighting is not great.

    (Translated by Google) Small museum on the territory of Saint-Josse. Parking can be done close by in parking Law. Not accessible for wheelchair users. Art and furniture from around 1900. Part of the house has been renovated by Horta. There are changing exhibitions. If you are lucky, there is a Dutch-speaking staff member. Very quiet to visit. The museum does not attract many people. (Original) Klein museum op het grondgebied van Sint-Joost. Parkeren kan dichtbij in parking Wet. Niet toegankelijk voor rolstoelgebruikers. Kunst en meubilair van rond 1900. Een deel van het huis is gerenoveerd door Horta. Er zijn wisselende tentoonstellingen. Als je geluk hebt, is er een nederlandstalig personeelslid. Heel rustig om te bezoeken. Het museum trektnietzo veel volk.

    Attention, the museum is closed one again, this time until 2/11/2020, to limit the spread of Covid, décision of Saint-Josse administration. Was this museum so crowded to justify this decision? I doubt it.

    Solo lo recomiendo si te pilla de paso y tienes entrada gratuita. Quizá su encanto radica en su aspecto de viejo y abandono.

    (Translated by Google) Characteristic exhibition in a historic house. The museum boasts a remarkable display of original works of art and period objects. This museum is also worth visiting to visit the building that was built by Horta. Unguided visit and, unfortunately, detailed explanations are missing in the various rooms. Friendly and welcoming staff. It is located a little outside the historic city center. (Original) Esposizione caratteristica in abitazione storica. Il museo vanta un'esposizione di opere d'arte e oggetti d'epoca originali notevole. Vale la pena visitare questo museo anche per visitare l'edificio che fu sistemato da Horta. Visita non guidata e, purtroppo, mancano delle spiegazioni dettagliate nelle varie stanze. Personale gentile e accogliente. Si trova un po' fuori dal centro storico della città.

👍 Beautiful rooftop entrance. It can get a bit busy here. Watch out for pick pockets! It’s a problem throughout this area and surrounds. They have travel card to pup stations near the entrance downstairs.
