The Oldmasters Museum (French: Musée Oldmasters; Dutch: Oldmasters Museum) is an art museum in the Royal Quarter of Brussels, Belgium, dedicated to Old Master European painters of the 15th to the 18th centuries, with some later works. It is one of the constituent museums of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The museum has a large and internationally important collection of Netherlandish art, mostly from the Southern Netherlands that mostly equate to modern Belgium. There are panels by the Flemish Primitives including Robert Campin, Rogier van der Weyden, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Anthony van Dyck, and Jacob Jordaens. The collection also includes paintings and sculptures from other parts of Europe.
The museum was founded in 1801 by Napoleon. It was formerly called the Royal Museum of Ancient Art (French: Musée royal d'Art ancien; Dutch: Koninklijk Museum voor Oude Kunst). It is housed in the main building of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts (Palace of Fine Arts) located at 3, rue de la Régence/Regentschapsstraat. This site is served by the tram stop Royale/Koning (on lines 92 and 93).
