The entrance to the museum is an impressive hall, with a huge marble floor and glass roof. The second level looks over the main concourse. It’s split into sections the Bruegel section and old Dutch masters are well represented and that’s what the museum caters too. There is a small room of modern art but that’s it.
Cita Wijaya

I recommend to buy the ticket that includes the Magritte museum as well. Beautiful artwork, very big museum so it might take you about 3-4 hours. The Magritte museum is not for everyone, so i recommend looking up his paintings beforehand.

We recommend visiting this museum with the combined ticket that includes the Magritte Museum. That said, we want to make it clear: this is a wonderful artistic and cultural experience you simply can’t miss if you’re visiting the capital. It not only holds incredibly beautiful works of art, but it’s also a peaceful, stunning, and super photogenic place. Don’t miss it!

Holy cow! Loads of world-class Belgian art in a climate-controlled atmosphere. Well worth the visit. The Caravaggio exhibit is worth the price of admission. In Bruges, the museum pass is worth it if you have time to visit all the great museums and climb the tower. But allow two days.
During school holidays the museum offers multi-day art camps for ages 6–12; register early to secure a spot.
