Museum sights in Namur

  1. A

    Musée Félicien Rops

    The Musée Félicien Rops is devoted to 19th-century Namur-born artist Félicien Rops (1833-98), who fondly illustrated erotic lifestyles and macabre scenes. Born a few streets away at Rue du Président 33 (the house is marked with a plaque), Rops worked mainly in Paris and Brussels. He was never embraced by the art worlds in either city and became highly critical of them.

    Musée des Arts Anciens du Namurois

    Housed in an 18th-century mansion just a few minutes' walk from the Trésor du Prieuré d'Oignies, the small Musée des Arts Anciens du Namurois holds a simple but pleasant collection of old artworks from the region, including paintings, religious pieces and Mosan metalwork.
