WIELS is a contemporary art centre in Forest, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium. The centre opened in 2007 in the former Blomme building, which belonged to the Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery. It has three exhibition platforms with a total exhibition space of , an auditorium, studio workshops for artists-in-residence, and a café/foyer and bookshop in the former brewing hall.
WIELS has no collection, instead putting on temporary exhibitions by national and international artists. It hosts nine artist-in-residency studios, for which it receives hundreds of applications every year. For its tenth anniversary in 2017, WIELS organised a group exhibition called the Absent Museum, a reference to the incorrect assumption that WIELS is an art museum.
