Are exhibitions in Brussels free?
At least 118 of the 242 shows listed here are free to attend. Free only shows when the organizer states there is no admission price, so a listing with no price is one we could not confirm rather than a free one.
When are Brussels galleries and museums open?
Most commercial and artist-run galleries open Wednesday to Saturday, roughly 11:00–18:00, and close Monday and Tuesday. The museums keep longer weeks but close on Mondays. Vernissages — the opening nights, where the artist is usually present — are typically Thursday evening. Each listing carries its own run dates.
What is listed as an exhibition?
Shows, installations, gallery walks and open studios. Mixed media comes up most, followed by painting, sculpture and photography.
Which parts of Brussels have the most galleries?
The contemporary scene clusters around Dansaert and the canal, spilling into Molenbeek, with a second run of spaces in Ixelles and Saint-Gilles around Châtelain and the Barrière. The institutions sit on the Mont des Arts and in Ixelles. Each listing shows its venue and address.
Scene Seeker is a Brussels non-profit. Events come straight from the venues and organisers we track, and no placement on this page is paid for.
