The museum, which has preserved its original atmosphere, is dedicated to painter, sculptor and writer Antoine Wiertz (1806-1865), a somewhat controversial artistic figure of the Belgian Romantic movement.

A great little museum. Wiertz's art is on a monumental scale in the large atelier but there are also some smaller pieces in the other rooms. The larger works are a little like Rubens but some of the smaller paintings show a bizarre imagination. It's free - so well worth a visit. It was completely empty when I got there!

Very interesting paintings, with lots of details and compositions that give a feeling of movement. Not a very big museum (one big hall and two adjacent small rooms, about 1 hour is enough

The phrase "hidden treasure" is overused, but in this case is entirely justified. Don't come expecting Old Masters: the museum only has works by a single artist, but Antoine Wiertz painted such a huge variety of paintings, all of which are incredibly strange, it feels like you're seeing painting by dozens of different people. Because it's not widely advertised, you often have the place to yourself despite it being in such a prime location. As an added bonus, it's free, unlike most Belgian museums which seem to make it a point of pride to see how much they can gouge visitors for. If you only have time to visit one Brussels museum, it should be this one.

Such an amazing museum - part of it's beauty also is that it is always empty and seeing those 15+ Meter high paintings in this huge empty room is just magical !!!!
