Parc Du Cinquantenaire

About

The Parc du Cinquantenaire, also known as the Jubelpark, is a sprawling 30‑hectare urban park in Brussels that blends monumental architecture, lush gardens, and a rich array of museums. At its heart rises the iconic Cinquantenaire Arch, a triple‑arched triumphal gate erected in 1905, flanked by the historic Bordiau halls. The northern half of the complex houses the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History, showcasing military artifacts from antiquity to the present, while the southern side is home to the Art & History Museum, an impressive collection of antiquities, decorative arts, and ethnographic items. Additional attractions include the Autoworld automobile museum with its historic vehicle collection, the Great Mosque of Brussels, and the Horta‑Lambeaux Pavilion, offering a glimpse into Belgium’s colonial and Art Nouveau heritage.
