Often, masterpieces are full of symbols and stories that get missed by untrained eyes. So, let the experts do their work, while you can simply devour their knowledge at museums. The capital city of Brussels is home to various popular museums, including the Musical Instruments Museum, the Atomium, and Brussels Comic Book Museum. Another instance is the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, with a whopping collection of 20,000 artworks. You should make it a point to visit this museum. Why? For starters, the museum comprises artworks that trace the history of visual arts right from the 15th Century to current times. They comprise the visual art of sculpture, painting, and drawing. Six of the best art centers in Belgium come together to form the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. These include the Musée Old Masters Museum, the Musée Modern Museum, the Musée Wiertz Museum, the Musée Meunier Museum, the Musée Magritte Museum, and the Musée Fin-de-Siècle Museum. The museum boasts of having the collection of the Flemish pioneers including Jacques Jordaens, Pieter Bruegel, René Magritte, and many more masters.
