Despite its reverence to classic art and architecture, Brussels is also a haven for contemporary artists. This is thanks in large part to the Centrale for Contemporary Art museum in the city.

Its many exhibitions, which you can see online through the museum's virtual tours, include the works of Justin Bougerol, Max Kesteloot, Henk Visch, and so much more!
