Free museums in Brussels

Following an initiative launched in 2012 by an ASBL (Arts&Publics), several Brussels museums open their doors free of charge one day per month. In order to maintain access to a subsidy, museums must be open to the general public free of charge every 1st Sunday or Wednesday of the month. A perfect opportunity to avoid breaking the bank during your cultural family outings.

Among these is a large number of museums well known to the general public. Among others, we find: the BELvue Museum, the King's House, the Jewish Museum of Belgium, the Museum of Natural Sciences, the Magritte Museum...
