18. Plaster Cast Workshop [Royal Art & History Museum]

The moulding workshop of the Royal Museum of Art and History in the Cinquantenaire park was established in the 19th century. For 130 years, since European countries agreed to exchange plaster casts of their respective masterpieces (famous statues from Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance), master moulders have been producing copies of the most well-known European historical sculptures. Moreover, sculpture plays a prominent role in the history of 19th-century architecture. The workshop's collection of over 5,000 moulds and casts are accessible and visible during the visits. And still today, artisans work there to create casts using traditional techniques.
