Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium is a series of museums that has a collection of over 20,000 works spanning centuries. Consequently, it is one of Europe’s most important museums for art from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century. The museum was founded in 1801 and its first director was Jacques-Louis David. The museum’s collection includes paintings by Brueghel, Rubens, and Van Dyck, and sculptures by Michelangelo.

Also drawings by Da Vinci and Rembrandt, prints by Piranesi and Dürer, as well as a large number of important examples of decorative arts such as ivory carvings, goldsmithing, glasswork, and much more. If you visit this collection of museums, you will find yourself immersed in an atmosphere that allows you to understand better how people lived during these times (for example: how they dressed or what their homes looked like back in the Middle Ages).
