Human rights in art: 'Looking at current affairs from a 17th century perspective'

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and Amnesty International have joined forces for a human rights trail through the museums' collections.

This report was made before the outbreak of the corona crisis. Meanwhile, the museum is closed. Practical information about when this exhibition can be visited again can be found on the website of the museum.

The trail is based on the dialogue between art experts and human rights experts and was also recorded in twelve videos. These can be viewed in full here.
