Namur's Archeological Museum is home to a fine collection of the region's antiquities. It is housed in a late 16th C meat hall.
Church of Saint-Loup
On one side of the Rue du Bruxelles the Rue d'Angle and the Rue de Fer continue. From here there is a turn to the right to the Baroque Church of Saint-Loup, architecturally the most interesting church in Namur because of its stucco facade with 12 Doric pillars. Peter Huyssens designed the plans for the church which was built in 1621-1645; the College of Jesuits which now serves as a grammar school is richly furnished.

Musée Felicien Rops
Leaving the Musée de Croix we turn right into the Rue des Brasseurs and immediately into a narrow street to the Musée Felicien Rops. Rops (1833-1898), who was born in Namur, worked as a illustrator of literary and political books which had a satirical element. He was notorious as his works consisted, in the opinion of many of his contemporaries, of pure pornography. A selection can be seen in the museum.
