The Royal Art and History Museum (Musées Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire/Koninklijk Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis) occupying the south wing of the Palais is split into two main sections: Mediterranean culture from early history to antiquity (in the new Kennedy Wing) and Belgian pre- and early history, the history of Christian Europe from the Middle Ages, and Asian and American culture (in the older Nerviens Wing).
Some departments are only open on certain days however: antiquities, Islam, Oriental and Christian art on even dates; sculpture and decorative art on odd dates; early Belgian history on Wednesday only.
