About
Housed in an architectural gem on one of the world’s most beautiful squares, the Brussels City Museum tells the story of Belgium’s capital through its rich collections of sculptures, paintings, tapestries, earthenware and other objects.
The most important piece in the collection is undoubtedly the building itself. It is called “Maison du Roi” in French and “Broodhuis” in Dutch. This neo-Gothic building, as we know it today, dates from the last quarter of the 19th century. Its remarkable history perfectly reflects the heritage of the city.
On the first floor, explore the fascinating scale model of Brussels in the 13th century and discover how the city developed over time. The Parenthesis Space hosts capsule exhibitions featuring artworks temporarily brought out of storage. On the second floor, meet Brussels’ two most iconic figures: Manneken-Pis and Saint Michael. The originals! Finally, have fun or get creative with your family in our majestic hall.
