Museum

We returned Nov. 21, ’03, from nine days in Paris and three in Brussels. Brussels has a fairly new offer called the Brussels Card, advertised as “a 3-day pass to most of the major and minor museums in the area plus 72 hours of public transportation.” It costs €30 (about $36) and covers almost all of the bus, premetro (trams) and metro transportation in the major metropolitan area of Brussels, except for the rail link to the airport.

The following will be of interest to art lovers, especially, since Rome’s Borghese packs one of the strongest punches of any museum in Europe.
