City Museum: check the date first
The museum announces full closure from 4 January to 1 March 2027 for restoration. From 2 March, ground and first floors are scheduled to reopen while the second floor remains closed. The original Manneken Pis and the painting of the 1695 bombardment are affected by display changes. Use the current practical notice before deciding to travel; do not rely on a photograph of an older gallery.
Greek collection: a page is not access
The Art & History Museum’s Greece page currently reports temporary inaccessibility during works in the Antiquities wing. It describes a temporary presentation being prepared by 2028. This affects planning around Douris’s kantharos: the existence of a detailed collection page does not guarantee public access to the object today.
Ixelles: an announced reopening
Ixelles Museum announces reopening on 19–21 March 2027. A future date should remain a future date in a visitor plan. If your trip is earlier, choose another collection and keep Ixelles as a later option. Check the institution’s own notice again near departure, rather than treating an old programme as a live booking offer.
A four-field confirmation record
For each proposed stop, write: visit date; gallery or object confirmed; source and time of your check; alternative if inaccessible. Ask a museum a specific question using title and inventory number where available. This gives you a practical fallback without promising that any collection object will always be displayed. Keep original campaign dates and current access dates separate.
- Date — Choose a visit day. Future dates remain future.
- Access — Check the museum notice. Collection page ≠ public display.
- Confirm — Name the actual object. Title and inventory number.
- Alternative — Choose an available pair. Keep your comparison question.
