The Royal Museum of Mariemont has a large collection of porcelains, mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries, that demonstrate the diversity of items produced by Belgian manufacturers (primarily Tournai) at the crossroads with European production. 

This research programme is investigating the Cult of Mithras, a mysterious god from the East who was the subject of a very unusual and extremely popular cult in the Roman Empire.

Mariemont’s Roman antiquities collection includes a large number of bronze statuettes of deities. Spread over all four corners of the Empire, these objects could be found in small private temples in Roman homes.
