Museum of Ixelles
The museum is currently closed for renovation.
The Museum of Ixelles is an art museum in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium. The museum was founded in 1892 to house a collection of works donated by painter and collector Edmond De Pratere and grew rapidly with donations from generous patrons. The Belgian art patron Octave Maus donated more than 200 Impressionist, Neo-impressionist and symbolist works.
Today the museum presents a panorama of Belgian art of the 19th and 20th centuries. The collections bring together paintings, sculpture, and drawings representing the different art movements of this time. A sampling of Flemish masters and some representatives of foreign schools complete the set. A collection of posters includes a complete collection of originals by Toulouse-Lautrec.
The museum regularly organizes temporary exhibitions and has a documentation center.
Recent curators of Museum of Ixelles are Jean Cockerel, Nicole d'Huart and Claire Leblanc.
The Museum of Ixelles is located at rue Jean Van Volsem 71, B - 1050 Brussels.
