Museum of the City of Brussels (Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles)
Discover how the capital city became what it is today at Museum of the City of Brussels (Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles). The museum showcases a scale model of Brussels in the Middle Ages and a whole host of artifacts specific to the city, including items used by all types of people, from craftsmen to aristocrats. Paintings, textiles, tapestries, and tools fill each room of the city hall, which houses the museum. You'll recognize the building by the ornate statuary and relief carvings that distinguish it in the Grand Place, the large square in the city center. Don't miss the display of 750 costumes for the city's iconic Mannequin Pis, the famous urinating fountain. The attraction is included on the BrusselsCard (available at the tourist office), or you can purchase a ticket upon arrival.

This museum is unbelievably cool, including the building itself. It’s free with the Brussels Card - something I cannot recommend enough if you’re visiting the city for a couple days, as you can also add on an all-inclusive transit option for fairly cheap. It really gave me a greater appreciation for the city after learning more of its fascinating history.

Three level museum with lots of cool art, architecture and history. I really like the statues and things from olden Belgian times. It’s semi hidden in the Grand Place but you can find it if you look closely. Would recommended you come check it out!
