Musical Instruments Museum

Housed in a striking Art Nouveau building near Brussels’ Mont des Arts, the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) showcases over 1,000 instruments from around the world. Highlights include historic keyboards, rare folk instruments, and interactive displays that let you hear how pieces sound. The headphone audio guide syncs with exhibits, adding context without clutter. A top-floor café offers panoramic city views. It’s ideal for music lovers and curious visitors seeking a well-presented survey of global musical traditions in an architecturally notable setting. Plan 1–2 hours; temporary exhibitions and concerts may enhance a visit.
