An unmissable attraction for art lovers: the twin Museum of
Ancient Art and the Museum of Modern Art are Brussels' premier art
museums. They feature art from the 15th to 18th centuries (ancient)
and 19th century to the present day (modern). The larger of the two
is the Museum of Ancient Art, opened in 1887, featuring the best
collection of Flemish art in the world; highlights include works by
van Dyck and over 20 paintings by Rubens. The Museum of Modern Art
was opened in 1984 and includes fine examples from Belgium's best
artists over the past century, plus modern legends such as Francis
Bacon.
