A stunning exhibition space. The show I saw was well curated and had some great ideas. The bookshop is very good as well.
Very cool venue in old industrial style. The roof terrace provides a splendid view, no drinks there though. The exhibition I saw was a bit tough to go through because of a lack of sunlight and white hermetic spaces. It certainly isn't top quality but I've heard other exhibitions there have been better at communicating their message.
Beautiful museum in Brussels, great collection. special really special, a treat really.
I am no fan of contemporary art and found the WIELS entry ticket quite expensive. That said, I like the way this old brewery was renovated and I went there to discover the place rather than for the exhibition. There are lots of remaining traces of the brewery and the rooftop terrace has a great view of the surrounding area. Unfortunately, you cannot access the terrace without paying to visit the exhibition.
A major contemporary art center in Brussels showing international and emerging artists.
Wonderful building with some interesting exhibits, not to everyone's tastes, sometimes favouring ideas over artistic achievement
I just love the building. The natural light en white paint on the raw walls. It really gives a good, light feeling.. very pleasant to see works of art in such a space. And of course the expositions with contemporary art are never disappointing.
If you visit the museum, don't forget to go to the roof terrace! Beautiful view over the city of Brussels.
The main reason I visited was because I wanted to admire the architecture of the building - which I did. The exhibitions were complete rubbish and I was quite annoyed to pay 14 euros for something I did not want to see, however the views from the top of the building or a enjoying a drink or a snack from the coffee place compensated for that (no ticket required to go to the coffee place).
In an old brewery it makes an interesting spot for a modern art museum. But check the programme before going as it may vary in quality.
Added benefit: good view from the 5th floor on the city, small cafe in ground floor, children friendly.
