One of the world's great musical instrument museums, housed in the spectacular Art Nouveau Old England building. Visitors use wireless headphones that automatically trigger audio samples as you approach each of the 7,000+ instruments on display — a genuinely clever and immersive experience. The rooftop café has some of the best panoramic views in Brussels. Families with children find it surprisingly engaging thanks to the interactive audio format.
