It's OK I suppose. The front desk staff were rude. Puts you off doesn't it? She was busy on her phone then didn't offer us the audio guide. Lots of old instruments. Very classical. They should record more examples and use video too. Is it a bit stuffy? Yes. The audio guide isn't included in the price, which is bizarre for a music museum. It's very uncomfortable to wear. Then get this... In return for the earplug, they wanted our passports! What! Idiotic. Give more information too. Have some write ups and use English. I know I'm ignorant! I did try to learn some French but it's not easy. The one in Arizona is a thousand times better. They let you play them too! Brussels in general is an amazing place thoughts.

An incredible number of world instruments reaching 8000. Really impressive. My recommendation is to go on a sunny day to benefit from a hidden gem situated on the roof of the building which is an outdoor rooftop where you have a coffee, eat brunch and enjoy the view of all of Brussels laying at your feet. You can even see the atomium if you didn't have the time to actually go. Enjoy😉😉😉

Such a novel idea for a museum. I really enjoyed exploring all of the different levels and learning a lot about so many new instruments, I'd never even heard of. I don't normally go for an audio guide, but here it is an absolute must as it allows you to listen to excerpts played on the instruments that you see. Only problem I had was that a lot of the information boards on the lower levels of the museum don't have any English on them so I felt like I was missing out on some information! The building itself is gorgeous and the views from the top floor are quite spectacular!

Cannot recommend this museum highly enough, I want to visit again! Amazing, huge collection of instruments from all over the world and spanning hundreds of years. The piano collection is particularly impressive. Get the audio guide for €2 so you can hear sound samples of many of the instruments being exhibited. There is also a cafe on the top floor with wonderful views over Brussels.

Come up to enjoy the top of Brussels. Prices are rather high but the food looks and tastes great. The view is amazing. Take into consideration there is some sun and there might me a strong wind. Not too many veg options even in the buffet. The staff is rather busy so come for an all in experience of good food good view and a nice time.
