Una giornata particolare

Yesterday I had to go to Brussels for some paperwork.

The ultra-fast trains operating between Paris and Brussels are wonderful [it's only a 72 minutes ride!] but the tickets are very rigid so since I finished my job much earlier than predicted, I had to wait for more than 4 hours to get on my train back to Paris.

Blessing in disguise: enough time for an impromptu visit to the Royal Museums of Fine Arts. ;)

Instead of giving you dozens of reasons why "you must" visit this place, I'll post here a bunch of photos I took there yesterday...

La chute des anges rebelles, Pieter Brueghel - 1562

Of course I saw the Brueghel-section and most of what you can find in their superb collection of ancient Art (I'll upload many pics later today), but you should not neglect their equally magnificent collection of the Modern Art.
