The Museum of Ixelles (French: Musée d'Ixelles, Dutch: Museum van Elsene), also called the (Municipal) Museum of Fine Arts of Ixelles (French: Musée (communal) des Beaux-Arts d'Ixelles, Dutch: (Gemeentelijk) Museum voor Schone Kunsten van Elsene), is a municipal art museum in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium, focusing on Belgian art from the 19th and 20th centuries. The museum regularly organises temporary exhibitions and has a documentation centre.[citation needed]
The museum is located at 71, rue Jean Van Volsem/Jean Van Volsemstraat.[1] It is served by the bus stops Musée d'Ixelles/Museum van Elsene (on line 71)[2] and Malibran (on lines 38 and 60).[3][4]
History
The museum was founded in 1892 to house a collection of works donated by painter and collector Edmond De Pratere and grew rapidly with donations from generous patrons. The Belgian art patron Octave Maus donated more than 200 impressionist, neo-impressionist and symbolist works.[5]
Nowadays, the museum presents a panorama of Belgian art of the 19th and 20th centuries. The collections bring together paintings, sculpture, and drawings representing the different art movements of this time. A sampling of Flemish masters and some representatives of foreign schools complete the set. A collection of posters includes a complete collection of originals by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.[5]
Recent curators of the museum are Jean Cockerel (1958–1987), Nicole d'Huart (1987–2007) and Claire Leblanc (since 2007).[5]
In 2018, the museum closed for renovations and an expansion. It is planned to reopen in 2023.[6]
