Built around 1900 by the architect Léon Govaerts. It is a perfect example of Belgian Art nouveau.

I love this building because the whole museum is neoclassical. When you get to the museum shop, there is an amazing Art Nouveau interior.

The whole outside is a beautiful white neoclassical building from 1780 called "L'hôtel des brasseurs".

I recommend the museums especially for the René Magritte collection

The Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are among the most beautiful in the world.

Built at the end of the 19th century by Alphonse Balat for the King of the time. With a surface area of 15,000m², they are a precursor of Art Nouveau.

The photo was taken in the Winter Garden. It is 57m (187ft) wide and 25m (82ft) high. It is topped by a magnificent crown.

It's one of my favourite places in Belgium, but it's only open for one month of the year, around May. I highly recommend it!
