Wiertz Museum, Artistic museum in Ixelles, Belgium.
The Wiertz Museum exhibits paintings, sculptures, and writings of Antoine Wiertz in his former workshop, displaying monumental canvases and personal artworks.
The Belgian government commissioned this studio-museum in 1850, following negotiations with Antoine Wiertz to preserve his artistic legacy for future generations.
The museum collection reflects Wiertz's examination of death and mortality through paintings such as Two Girls, where a young woman faces a skeleton.
Located at Rue Vautier 62 in Ixelles, the museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 17:00 with free admission.
The museum houses an 8-meter-long painting depicting Greeks and Trojans fighting over Patroclus's body, demonstrating Wiertz's preference for large formats.
