Musée du Cinquantenaire - Jubelparkmuseum
Musée du Cinquantenaire - Jubelparkmuseum submitted by Alta-Falisa : Synthesis of the evolution of mankind, placed at the entrance of the Prehistory Gallery. Although all the showcases are adequately described, and the exhibited items chosen carefully for an easy comprehension, a prior knowledge adds to the interest of the visit. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Museum in Brussels.

The collections of the museum cover the prehistory and history of Belgium, Europe and, to various extents, a selection of several other cultures and civilisations. Painting, sculpture, technique etc. are kept in other museums.

Although all the showcases are adequately described, and the exhibited items chosen carefully for an easy comprehension, a prior knowledge adds to the interest of the visit.

This page is limited to Prehistory, to stay within the original frame of the Megalithic Portal.

The coordinates give the entrance to the museum.

Information provided by the museum : Cinquantenaire.
