The Museum of Ixelles (French: Musée d'Ixelles) is an art museum in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium. The museum was founded in 1892 to house a collection of works donated by painter and collector (1826-1888) and grew rapidly with donations from generous patrons. The Belgian art patron Octave Maus (1856-1919) donated more than 200 Impressionist, Neo-impressionist and symbolist works.[2]

Today the museum presents a panorama of Belgian art of the 19th and 20th centuries. The collections bring together paintings, sculpture, and drawings representing the different art movements of this time. A sampling of Flemish masters and some representatives of foreign schools complete the set. A collection of posters includes a complete collection of originals by Toulouse-Lautrec.

The museum regularly organizes temporary exhibitions and has a documentation center.

Recent curators of Museum of Ixelles are Jean Cockerel (1958 - 1987), Nicole d'Huart (1987 - 2007) and Claire Leblanc (since 2007).[2]

The Museum of Ixelles is located at rue Jean Van Volsem 71, B - 1050 Brussels.[3]
