One of my favorite museums in Brussels, though to be fair, I'm really interested in Roman history, and they have some really great exhibits including mosaics, statues, a painted wall from Pompeii and even a huge model of ancient Rome. The art deco exhibit is also quite good. The museum is not crowded, has good English descriptions, and the staff are very helpful. I would recommend visiting if you'...

Me and my 10 year old daughter loved it very much! It is very big, you have space to visit to sit and enjoy, and they have so many big objects, statues , vases, from many cultures. I've been 2 times and I would still go and not get bored.

It's rumored to be Hogwarts and it really felt like it when I walked in. It was definitely worth a visit and the plus point was that there weren't too many visitors that day so I felt like I owned the whole museum. It was pretty cool, sometimes it felt a bit eerie to be alone in some areas.

One of my favourite museums in Brussels. Very interesting collections from different times and cultures from almost all around the world. You can easily spend there several hours. Always polite and attentive service at the reception.

One of the best kept secrets in Bruxelles. To see the whole museum, you’d need a day! It’s not the most modern museum presentation wise, but its content is well preserved. From the Syrian mosaics, to their Egyptian mummies, their cloister and real Easter Island head, this museum is a joy to visit. Not too crowded and a hop and skip from two metros. I highly recommend it!
