Musee Constantin Meunier, Brussels, Belgium
4.5 (50 reviews) Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #2 in Ixelles Art Museums
At last, a living museum, thanks to his guard !
Meunier museum is too small to show the big collection of works of the Belgian artist famous for his monumental bronze sculptures, whose some are exhibited in the former Meunier's workshop, at the bottom of the museum. Figures of the heroic labour of the industrial revolution, tribute to the popular classes of the late nineteenth century ... with something sensual inherited from Rodin ... This worths already a four on Tripadvisor. The last star is given to the fantastic museum guard. Richard Boterman (Butterman in English) learnt the Meunier's life and explains it with great verve, making this place a living world, joyful, filled with something very Belgian. Most of museums are places of solitude, where the guards are unfriendly (aaah, the Bozar!), Mr. Boterman makes this museum an oasis in Brussels. And moreover, it's free !

a hidden gem
strange that this museum is so little known. Paintings and sculptures from one of the most renowned artists of the previous turn of the century. No admittance asked, which really makes it a must!
