Meunier Museum

Artist's house museum in Brussels dedicated to the social realist sculptor Constantin Meunier

The Meunier Museum in Ixelles, Brussels, is dedicated to the Belgian sculptor and painter Constantin Meunier (1831–1905), a leading figure of social realism. Housed in Meunier's former private studio, it shows a cross-section of his work: sculptures and paintings depicting workers, miners and dock labourers of 19th-century industrial society with dignity and empathy. Part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, it is one of the most atmospheric artist's house museums in the country.
