Art Experiences and Museums in Brussels
Street Art
Brussels has some really striking street murals and outdoor art, from Tintin and Captain Haddock to the anti-hero Gaston Lagaffe. You may feel like you’re living in the pages of a cartoon. There are all sorts of interesting artworks dotted around the city, like this statue of Gaston and this giant container by Luc Deleu, both on boulevard Pachéco.
MIMA Museum
MIMA is one of the most interesting new museums in Brussels. Located in the newly renovated Molenbeek area, it focuses on street art in all its forms. There are some unusual artworks by talented artists such as the block prints by American artist Swoon. She uses coffee to stain her intricate linoleum block etchings of people.
This rotating installation by FAILE, aka Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller is particularly impressive.
