BAM - Beaux-Arts Mons, also known as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Mons, is a fine arts museum in the city of Mons, in Wallonia, Belgium. It is found at Rue Neuve 8, in the centre of town, and is housed in a contemporary building.
What you can see
The museum holds collections of paintings, sculptures and decorative arts. The works span from the 16th century to the present day, so a single visit can move from early modern pieces to recent art.
Why visit
- A broad survey of European art across several centuries
- A modern building, which offers a contrast with the older streets of the city
- An easy stop for anyone already exploring Mons on foot
Mons is a city with a long history and an old centre, so the museum pairs well with a walk through the streets around it. Visitors who enjoy art can combine the two in an unhurried day.
