Constantin Meunier Museum
The Constantin Meunier Museum ( French: Le Musée Constantin Meunier , Dutch: Het Constantin Meuniermuseum ) is a museum dedicated to the Belgian sculptor and painter Constantin Meunier in Ixelles in the Brussels region .
Constantin Meunier was already an internationally recognized sculptor when he decided at the end of the 19th century to have a house built according to his own plans with studio space on Rue de l'Abbaye in the Brussels suburb of Ixelles. The artist lived here until his death. The Belgian state bought the house in 1936 together with 700 works by Meunier and opened it to the public in 1939 . It has been part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts since 1978 .
The selection shown in the museum includes paintings and drawings from the period up to 1885 and sculptures from the subsequent creative phase of the most important Belgian sculptor of his time.
