  Nice museum that culminates with original Manneken Pis exhibit. The kid discovery booklet was engaging for my 10 yr old and cost an extra €1.50.  more »

  Lovely building, plenty of artworks which show the city through the centuries and a small documentary. The documentary is played in 3 different languages, therefore it might take a while for you to watch it in the one you understand. The price is modest, with a good discount for students of almost 50%. The location is extremely convenient and together with its price, it makes it worth the visit. Not incredible, but worth it if you are in Brussels for the week end, not if you only have a day.

  Was really looking forward to a history of Brussels which this didn't offer to great depth. Hidden cost of an optional virtual reality experience (€2 - not a lot but not informed of at reception). Moderately priced & excellent art work throughout exhibit
