Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (in French: Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Dutch: Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten van België) are among the main museums of Belgium. They are located in the capital, Brussels, in the area called Coudenberg.

The museums consist of four different collections; two that occupy the museum buildings (Museum of ancient art and art museum), two located in other buildings.

The two independent museums, the Constantin Meunier Museum and the Antoine Wiertz Museum are smaller than the two main ones and dedicated in particular to Belgium.

The Museums host 20000 paintings, drawings and sculptures from all over the world and of disparate historical periods from the fifteenth century to the present. The boast of the Museums is the collection of Flemish paintings, which includes works by Rogier van der Weyden, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Robert Campin, Antoon van Dyck and Jacob Jordaens.

An entire room is dedicated to Rubens, where twenty masterpieces of the artist are exhibited. Another room is dedicated to Henri de Braekeleer, with twenty-three paintings.
