📚 Closure of the libraries

Embark on a fascinating journey through art and history!
Come and stroll among the prehistoric flints and Egyptian mummies, walk between the ancient glasses and stand back to contemplate the impressive medieval tapestries. Immerse yourself in the oriental world as you pass Asian Buddhas and travel to the other side of the world to see pre-Columbian statuettes.
You still have to admire the magnificent collection of Belgian Art Nouveau...
