200+ exhibitions listed in Brussels, across 97+ venues — 122 on now, 78 yet to open. 127 are free. What is about to open leads the page as a dated diary; everything already running follows, closing soonest first. The city’s official agenda covers the museum institutions alongside it. visit.brussels

At least 127 of the 216 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.

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.

Gallery shows are almost always free to walk into. Museums charge, broadly €8–15, and several open free on the first Wednesday afternoon of the month. We only show Free when the space states there is no admission price, so an unlabelled show is unconfirmed rather than paid — check the space’s own page before you go.

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.
