A great discovery after years on my wish list. The detailed collections take you through a fascinating history of photography. I really recommend the guided tours, if you can join one, to hear the personal stories behind many of the works. Another nice surprise was the building itself - a sympathetic conversion of architectural heritage, and easily reached by public transport.See more..
It was the first time that I visited this museum. I came to see the exposition of Miro. It was nice and this exhibition is definitely worth a visit. Maybe I had expect a little bit more ..... if I compare it with the museum I visited in Barcelona .... but tit was worth the trip and Mons is a nice little town to wander around for a few hours.See more..

Come and spend an unforgettable moment in the largest museum of Wallonia ! Upon arrival, let yourself fall under the charm of our natural and archaeological parc in which you’ll encounter romantic ruins of an 18th century castle and majestic exotic essences. At the heart of this verdant oasis, an ambitious architectural achievement invites you to a journey at the crossroads of time and cultures : treasures from all over the world and of great civilisations -from antique Rome to ancient China, including Egypt and Middle East- intertwine with those of our own Hainaut province and Belgian history.See more..
