Found in Belgium: an art-world skull that's not by Damien Hirst

Sure, your regular travels might not take you to Brussels this weekend, but you should still get familiar with Artbrussels, one of Europe's largest and most international contemporary art fairs. The exhibition, now in its 26th year, draws artists and galleries from across Europe and the U.S., and regularly hosts crowds of up to 30,000. With so much work included, there's something for everyone here: bejeweled skulls gnawing on rats (pictured), Obi-Wan battles, and even—for the conservatives—plain old paintings. Take a look at some of our favorites, below; prices aren't available, but they've gotta be cheaper than what you'll find at the city's Millionare Fair, also happening now in nearby Kortrijk. At last year's Moscow iteration, a $1 million diamond-encrusted car rim was on view. By comparison, contemporary art seems like a steal.
