Musée Charlier Brussels

The Musée Charlier is a hidden gem on Boulevard du Jardin Botanique in Brussels. The museum is housed in the former home of sculptor Guillaume Charlier and art collector Henri Van Cutsem. The collection features works by Belgian fin-de-siècle artists such as James Ensor, Anna Boch, Rik Wouters and Constantin Meunier. The intimate character and the stylish interiors, reworked by architect Victor Horta, make a visit a unique experience.

Accessibility is partial. The main entrance has two historic steps, but at the side a portable ramp is available which staff put in place on request. The ground floor with the large salons and part of the collection can be reached without any level change. The upper floors where the paintings and the library are displayed are only reachable via a narrow historic staircase. An adapted toilet is available on the ground floor, with limited turning space.

Disabled parking is limited on Boulevard du Jardin Botanique and Rue Saint-Lazare. Madou metro station is five minutes away, with an accessible lift to street level. The surroundings are flat and paved. Combine your visit with the nearby accessible Jardin du Botanique or with the accessible Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, fifteen minutes away by wheelchair.
