Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Brussels

The Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels (French: Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles - École supérieure des Arts (ARBA-ESA); Dutch: Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten van Brussel) is an art school in Brussels, Belgium, founded in 1711. Starting from modest beginnings in a single room in Brussels' Town Hall, it has since 1876 been operating from a former convent and orphanage in the Rue du Midi/Zuidstraat, which was converted by the architect Victor Jamaer. The school has played an important role in training leading local artists.[1]
