The Fine-Arts-Museum

Let's not be modest now: Belgium has excellent painters and our national fine arts museum may not be the Louvre or the Vatican, but it has an amazing collection! And even better: most of it is from Belgian artists. I don't think any country of this size has had so many talented artists! No, not even the Netherlands :-)Pieter Brueghel the elder: surrealism in the 16th century!
Pieter Paul Rubens, one of the most important Baroque painters
Rik Wouters, one of the greatest
Marcel Broodthaers' Triumph of the Mussels
Jan Fabre
