King Leopold of Brlgium was very impressed with Girault's execution of the Petit Palais. This admiration started a fruitful collaboration between monarch and the architect.
Charles Girault was commissioned to build several structures including: "the Arcade du Cinquantenaire" in Brussels, extensions at the Royal Castle of Laeken, a seafront colonnade at Ostend" ...

Bello..elegante e adatto a un bel Museo di Belle Arti! Prima di entrare per la visita..lo sguardo si posa su questo elegante palazzo..e poi all'interno si è gratificati dai bellissimi quadri...vero? Raccontaci di più sull'arte di questo Museo! Io nelle mie 2 visite a Parigi non l'ho visitato e ora mi dispiace! Chissà se un giorno lo potrò vedere! Ciao buona giornata - Laura
