Brussels is probably the most cosmopolitan city of Europe, with liveliness and an appeal that are closely linked to its role of the Europe’s crossroads. The capital of Belgium has many spellings, Bruxelles, the French version is most frequent. Brussels is the capital of Belgian Monarchy  and the seat to the Europe’s bureaucratic institutions — The European Commission and the European Parliament.
Brussels is also the Headquarters of NATO and a European lobbying and commercial hub for many multinational corporations. But what describes Brussels best is the greatest variety of museums, bars, restaurants, and other cozy places to visit when you’re up to enjoying life!

Belgium culture starts with Belgian Monarchy, goes through saxophone, museums and comics and on to the enjoyment of  excellent food, chocolates and beers. In fact, there is no single Culture of Belgium. Belgium Culture is a fusion of Flemish culture, French culture and German culture.  A truly common Belgian cultural identity is friendliness and indulgence in life.

Jan Cox (1919 The Hague – 1980 Antwerp) played a significant part in the transition from the closed, relatively provincial world of art of the 1930’s to the open, internationalist art scene of post-World War II.
