The Museum of Modern Religious Art is located inside the National Basilica of Koekelberg. The collection consists mainly of twentieth century works with a religious or spiritual theme.
EXPO Take a glance at never-before-exhibited sketches by Albert Van huffel, architect of the largest Art Deco building in Belgium, the National Basilica. These rare drawings perfectly reflect his search for the right design for the new Basilica. The museum also exhibits ceramic, textile and glass art in this zeitgeist, from 1925-2025.
GUIDED TOUR Make your visit to the MMRA rather a lively experience by walking through it with a passionate guide in a limited group and letting the architectural sketches and works of art speak, peppered with fun anecdotes.
