This combines the Musée d'Art Ancien and the Musée d'Art Moderne. Roll over the Louvre in Paris, this will keep you going for days with paintings by Bruegel the Elder through to Magritte. Follow in the footsteps of W H Auden, who wrote about Bruegel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus after visiting the museum in 1938. His poem opens: "About suffering they were never wrong,/The Old Masters; how well, they understood/Its human position."
