Tournai Museum of Fine Arts

The Tournai Museum of Fine Arts is the only museum entirely designed by the famous Belgian Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta. Opened in 1928, the building is itself a work of art with its star-shaped floor plan and remarkable natural lighting. The collection spans works from the 15th to the 20th century, with masterpieces by Rogier van der Weyden, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Peter Paul Rubens, James Ensor and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, among others.

Accessibility at the museum is good. The building is accessible to persons with reduced mobility, with step-free access to the exhibition halls. Holders of a Handypass can benefit from a reduced admission rate. PMR parking spaces are available near the museum. Adapted toilets are provided. The wide galleries and open spaces characteristic of Horta's design make the museum particularly pleasant to visit in a wheelchair.

The Museum of Fine Arts is located in the heart of Tournai, within walking distance of the cathedral and the Grand-Place. Tournai is accessible by train from Brussels, Ghent and Lille. A visit to the museum combines perfectly with an exploration of this historic city on the Scheldt, one of Belgium's oldest towns.
