Jardin Jean Massart
Named after its founder, the Jean Massart Botanical Garden was created in 1922 by this great defender of nature and professor of botany at the ULB (Free University of Brussels). It’s located in Auderghem, a stone’s throw from Rouge-Cloître, the Sonian
Forest and the Seny, Ten Reuken and Bergoje parks. This botanical garden was designed by landscape architect Jules Buyssens. With some 2,000 plant species, it’s one of the richest botanical gardens in Belgium and a real living museum. Admire the thousands of native and exotic plants that the gardeners, researchers and students take care of every day.
The garden is an open-air laboratory for studying how plants can make cities healthier and more sustainable. It’s also a museum of ULB and is part of the science trail, together with the Museum of Zoology.
Art & History Museum (RMAH)
Embark on a fascinating journey through art and history! Come and stroll among the prehistoric flints and Egyptian mummies, walk between the ancient glasses and stand back to contemplate the impressive medieval tapestries.

You still have to admire the magnificent collection of Belgian Art Nouveau… The Art & History Museum is part of the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH) that also cover the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM), Halle Gate and the Museums of the Far East (currently closed for renovation).
The canal, an industrial district reborn as a trendy

Innovative and sustainable projects have taken over these listed sites: organic food shopping, art galleries, museums and temporary exhibitions; huge airy spaces, but also places for after work drinks and underground parties. This vast alternative district is definitely worth a visit.

And for lovers of local Brussels cuisine, there’s Rue de Flandre. Come and explore these two neighbourhoods!
