BELvue tells the story of Belgium from independence in 1830 to the present day through engaging, well-designed interactive displays covering politics, society, culture, and the monarchy. It's housed in a handsome 18th-century hotel adjacent to the Royal Palace, and the narrative is honest about Belgium's complexities including linguistic tensions and colonial legacy. Compact enough to do in 90 minutes, it's one of the best value museums in the city. An excellent primer for anyone wanting to understand modern Belgian identity.
