More than just a museum, the Art and History Museum is a tribute to ancient civilizations and rare artifacts. Built to mark Belgium’s 50th anniversary of independence, it houses over 600,000 pieces from across the globe. Constructed by King Leopold II, the museum is one of Europe’s largest and most impressive cultural institutions. Wander through its vast halls and explore treasures from prehistoric times, including Egyptian sarcophagi and Greek vases and a stunning mosaic floor from Apamea. Discover pre-Columbian art, marvel at a massive statue from Easter Island, and step back in time with a model of Ancient Rome. With its vast collection and immersive exhibitions, the museum offers a labyrinth of fascinating historical discoveries to explore
