If you stay in Brussels, you MUST visit the Grand-Place ! Even although I live In Brussels, I can’t get enough of it. The architecture is stunning, history is everywhere. But you will also like this place for the food and the Belgian beers. If I were a tourist, I would stay at the Novotel Brussels off Grand'Place or another... More

An extensive collection of musical instruments, ancient and modern. Unfortunately, the experience is marred by the fact that the museum is *very* poorly lit and that most information is available in Dutch and French only. The "audio guides" allow you to hear sounds from the instruments, but no audio presentation of information. Personally, I have a fairly extensive knowledge of... More

Bit boring for me,But sure you will enjoy if you like to see old instruments with a good polish More

The museum has a very interesting collection of instruments. Seeing really early versions of instruments that are quite familiar was a good way to understand how music has evolved.

I recommend to take the guided tour so that you can maximize your knowledge on instruments! More

The art deco building is very lovely and the rooftop cafe is worth the visit but I can't say the exhibit is fully realized. We were given a headset with a plug to "plug into" the different musical instrument exhibits. More than 50% of the "plugs ins" had awful audio quality and it was unclear which instrument we were hearing... More

Housed behind an amazing exterior, this museum was supposed to be one of the highlights of our trip. We're a very musical family and were looking forward to the exhibits, but it suffers from two significant problems: 1. The exhibits, which consist of antique instruments and an audio jack to let you hear what they sound like, are not all... More
