Charlier Museum

The Charlier Museum, inaugurated in 1928, is located in Sint-Joost-ten-Noode, a nineteenth-century house that was the residence of Henry Van Cutsem, a wealthy collector and patron of the arts. The sculptor Guillaume Charlier inherited it. It displays a collection of paintings from the Belgian school of painting from the late 19th century as well as stylish furniture.
