Small tour of the Brussels Museums
Off course, one can start with the classic ones: the Belgium royal museum des Beaux-Arts (Belgium royal museum of fine arts) holds amazing pieces for those interested, even from afar, by famous paintings. But in the same vein, the Ixelles museum of Beaux-Arts or the Charlier museum in Saint-Josse are famous themselves. Regarding music, the Museum of musical instruments (MIM) is just a not to be missed venue and for the architecture, one would go to the Maison Horta.
Belgian style
You, the Belgian friends or lovers of our country, will not be disappointed either. From the Geuze Museum (in Anderlecht) to the one about beer (in Shaerbeek) or the Witloof (in Evere), or the Belgian centre of the comic strip (Brussels) or the Tram museum (Woluwe-Saint-Lambert) notwithstanding the Theater of Toone , royal, the occasions are numerous to uncover the more or less important sections of the cultural heritage from Belgium and from Brussels. In this field we must mention the town museum of Brussels, with an amazing collection of the Manneken Pis' costumes and also the BELvue museum, which grants access to the archeological remains buried under the Coudenberg cobbles.
