Art & History Museum, Archaeological museum in Cinquantenaire Park, Belgium

The Art & History Museum spans four main sections covering national archaeology, classical antiquity, non-European civilizations, and European decorative arts within a neoclassical building.

The museum collections originated during the Burgundian and Habsburg periods, with significant acquisitions made by the Kingdom of Belgium in 1847.

The museum exhibits Middle Eastern artifacts, Egyptian mummies, Greek sculptures, Roman antiquities, Asian art collections, and Belgian decorative objects from various periods.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 9:30 and 17:00, with weekend hours from 10:00 to 17:00, accessible via Schuman or Merode metro stations.
