This museum occupies a lovely neo-Gothic house that was built in the early 20C and extended in 1974. It contains a magnificent art collection assembled by Fritz Mayer van den Bergh. Made up of medieval sculptures, illuminations, ivoiries, tapestries and paintings, the collection complements those of the other major museums in the city. The masterpiece is undoubtedly Margot the Enraged, a painting by Bruegel the Elder, which features an apocalyptic vision of war in red.

The lower part of the 85m-high front church tower is embellished by alternate use of limestone and sandstone. The local ferruginous sandstone chancel dates from the 14C and the upward sweep of the 15C nave's slender lines is highlighted by transverse arch ribbing. In a chapel to the right of the ambulatory, note the Disciples of Emmaüs by P.-J. Verhagheand in a chapel to the left, a painting on wood called the Mystical Wine-Press (16C Flemish School).

At n° 3 stands the house of the collector and industrialist Dotremont, built in 1931 by the architect L-H. De Koninck (1896-1984). The geometrical façade is made of reinforced concrete sheets, which was a daring technique in those days.

This admirable Art Nouveau building was commissioned by UK company Old England when it came to Brussels in 1886. The store was built by Paul Saintenoy in 1899. Recent restoration has returned the building to its original splendour and today, it houses the Museum of Musical Instruments.
