| Maak een wereldreis door de geschiedenis! In het Museum Kunst & Geschiedenis wandelt u van prehistorische vuistbijlen naar Egyptische mummies. U snuistert door het Delfts aardewerk en zet een stap achteruit om de indrukwekkende Brusselse wandtapijten te bekijken. U gaat de oosterse toer op tussen de Aziatische boeddha’s en reist naar de andere kant van de wereld om een reuzenbeeld van Paaseiland te zien. En dan is er nog de mooie collectie van Belgische art nouveau… Kortom, in het Museum Kunst & Geschiedenis doorkruist u de continenten van de prehistorie tot de 20ste eeuw. Het Museum Kunst & Geschiedenis telt 4 grote afdelingen: nationale archeologie, oudheid, niet-Europese beschavingen en Europese sierkunsten. | |
| In the Art & History Museum, you can see national archaeological artefacts from prehistory to the age of the Merovingians, as well as finds from Egypt, the Near East, Iran and Classical Antiquity. Among the star attractions are the collections of Egyptian sarcophagi and Greek vases, the great mosaic floor from Apamea and the model of Ancient Rome. There are also non-European art treasures from China, South-east Asia, Central Asia, the cultural world of Islam, America and Oceania. Particularly famous is the collection of pre-Columbian art and another eye-catcher is the colossal statue from Easter Island. There is also a representative selection of European decorative art, ranging from Romanesque Art to Art Deco. Among the collections not to be missed are the Mosan liturgical treasures, the tapestries, the retables, the glassware and the Art Nouveau figures. Indeed, some of the art treasures in this museum are right out of the top drawer. |
