Cinquantenaire Park, Protected urban park in European Quarter, Brussels

The Cinquantenaire Park spans 30 hectares with gardens, fountains, and a central triumphal arch connecting two exhibition halls in Brussels, Belgium.

The Belgian government established this park in 1880 to mark fifty years of independence, constructing multiple buildings for the National Exhibition.

Three major museums operate within the park: the Royal Museum of Armed Forces, the Art & History Museum, and the Autoworld automobile collection.

The park includes numerous benches, walking paths, grassy areas for picnics, and maintains direct connections to metro stations and bus stops.

The Temple of Human Passions, designed by architect Victor Horta in 1896, displays a large marble relief depicting human emotions through classical figures.
