Located at 2, rue Montagne de la Cour/Hofberg on the Mont des Arts/Kunstberg, the museum stands next to the Place Royale/Koningsplein and across the street from the Magritte Museum.^[1][2] It is served by Brussels-Central railway station and Parc/Park metro station on lines 1 and 5 of the Brussels Metro.
