The Musée Meunier Museum (Constantin Meunier Museum) is dedicated to the Belgian sculptor, painter and graphic artist Constantin Meunier (1831 - 1905). The museum is located in his studio home. Meunier glorified the working man in his realistic works. Through some 150 works from a collection of some 700, and documents, the museum paints a picture of his life and work. It shows mainly works from the last three decades of his life, where social and industrial themes took precedence over religiously inspired work.

    The Musée Meunier Museum in Brussels, Belgium, offers visitors an intimate look into the life and work of Belgian artist Constantin Meunier. The museum, housed in the artist's former home and studio, provides a personal atmosphere that allows guests to connect with Meunier's artistic process. The collection primarily focuses on Meunier's sculptures and paintings, which often depict industrial workers and scenes from late 19th-century Belgium. Visitors appreciate the authenticity of the space and the opportunity to see both finished works and sketches. The museum is relatively small, which some find charming, while others wish for a more extensive exhibition. The staff is generally described as knowledgeable and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. However, some visitors note that the information provided could be more comprehensive, especially for those unfamiliar with Meunier's work. The museum's location in the Ixelles neighborhood is convenient for those exploring Brussels' art scene. While not as well-known as some of Brussels' larger museums, the Musée Meunier Museum offers a focused and authentic experience for those interested in Belgian art history and the works of Constantin Meunier.
