Forest: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Forest (or Vorst in Dutch) is one of the nineteen municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region in Belgium. Located in the southwestern part of the region, Forest is primarily an urban area with a mix of residential neighborhoods and industrial zones.

The municipality is known for the Forest National (Vorst Nationaal), one of Belgium's most prominent concert venues which has hosted numerous international artists since its opening in 1970. The area also features notable architectural heritage, including the neo-Gothic Church of Saint Denis and the Art Deco town hall.

Forest's cultural landscape is enriched by its diverse population and the presence of several cultural spaces and creative workshops. The former Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery site has been transformed into a contemporary arts center, WIELS, which has become an important cultural landmark in the Brussels art scene.
