Brussels Museums

(Brussels, Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium)

In a city with such a rich history, it will come as no surprise that museums can be found all over Brussels. With almost 500 cars displayed from all eras, the Autoworld Museum at the Parc du Cinquantenaire makes for a good day out, while the Brouwerijmuseum (Brewing Museum) at the Brussels Grote Markt offers everything you could ever need to know about the history of beer making in this part of Belgium.

For film buffs in Brussels, the Musée du Cinema can be found in the basement of the Palais des Beaux Arts and is a particularly interesting museum, being filled with movie memorabilia and regularly screens films. Many museums around Brussels contain information about Napoleon's famous defeat at Waterloo and the actual battlefield itself and Waterloo Visitors' Centre are worth searching out, along with the Musée Provincial du Caillou, Napoleon's actual headquarters.


Children and families often find the fun-packed Scientastic Museum on the Boulevard Anspach the perfect way to spend an afternoon, where almost 100 interactive creations and activities await.
