KBR Museum, History museum in central Brussels, Belgium
The KBR Museum displays an extensive collection of manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and weapons within the Nassau Chapel of the Royal Library of Belgium.
The museum preserves the Library of the Dukes of Burgundy, a manuscript collection established on April 12, 1559, marking the beginning of Belgium's national library.
The Chronicles of Hainaut, commissioned by Philip the Good, features miniatures by Rogier van der Weyden and represents medieval Belgian artistic production.
The museum remains closed until autumn 2024 for renovations, after which visitors can explore six million items including books, manuscripts, maps, and sound recordings.
Every six months, the museum rotates its exhibits of fragile manuscripts to maintain their preservation while offering different experiences to returning visitors.
