More information on Museum van Elsene

This Museum first opened in 1982, in what was formerly the Municipal Abbatoirs. In 1892 (when these were first built) even an abbatoir was supposed to be a work of art. This museum specialises in modern art and is particularly renowned for its vast collection of original posters (28 by Toulouse-Lautrec). There's a special hall dedicated to the great Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte, elsewhere you can see works by Henri Permeke, André Delvaux and Pablo Picasso.

Traveler Photos of Wood Street

Nice trees changing color in England. There are definitely behind in their seasons here. Just mid fall I would say. Front entryway. Dining room before we unpacked.  The photographer (my father) is standing in front of the table we are using as a desk.  So it is also our office. Most of the living room, before we unpacked.
