Set in the heart of the Cinquantenaire Park, you will
find the Cinquantenaire Museum, part of the Royal Museums of Art and History
which offers a
rich and varied view of history to the public. The Antiquity
collection
evokes ancient civilisations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and
Rome.
The Decorative Arts retrace the major artistic trends
that developed in
Europe from the 10th century to the present day. Tapestries,
altapieces, lace,
silver and porcelain display the splendour of
European culture.
The non-european collections range from Micronesia and
Polynesia to India, South-East Asia, China and Precolumbian America. Our
National Archaeology department covers artefacts from prehistorical times to the
Merovingian period.
