乐器博物馆

TotallyTanya

This museum has over 1000 musical instruments from different cultures. Al you need to do is walk past the instruments and you will hear the music! I must admit that the children were less excited than I for two reasons: the younger one was tempted to play a very old piano and the elder expected to hear more jazzy tunes. The top floor of the museum offers an amazing view of Brussels!

This is truly a very well organized museum with plenty of interesting exhibits. It's also located right in the city center so it's very easy to include it in your tour of Brussels, especially if it's raining and you're looking for a way to pass the time. The only minus would be the entry fee, low if you are under 26, but too overpriced for visitors above 26 years old.

This multistory museum will give you the real experience on all world music instruments. you will get a information device on entry of the museum. when you close to the particular music instrument you can listen the voice of instruments.Really nice to be here.... Next time I will also take my family along with me.

One of the best museums I've ever been to! Gorgeous building, and fascinating instruments. A bargain at €2 for under 25s. There's some great views from the top floors aswell, there's a restaurant that was completely rammed when we tried to get in but the panaroamic windows looked amazing from what we saw. When we arrived the woman at the desk was quite dismissive of us as they didn't have any audio kits (don't do it if they don't have them) and we felt she was being quite rude, but we returned after an hour to find someone else behind the desk that happily handed us them. Apart from this it was well worth it if you've got 2 hours spare in Brussels!

This was the first place we visited in Brussels and its certianly started the trip off on a high. The outside of the building is architecturally stunning. The museum offers free headphone guide touring too where you can listen to sounds of the many instruments they have on display. Only costing 2 euros for entry as well... this place was definitely worth the expense.

the restaurant at the top floor gives a magnificent view of the city, the big terrace is great to have a drink, unless too windy! the food is nothing special but more than ok. Overall a nice experience.

As a musician, I was really pleased to visit this museum.Beautiful building, great collection of all kinds of instruments from all over the word. At the entrance, you get a free pair of headphones,as you walk from section to section you can listen to samples of the music being created by these instruments. The different sections are well organised, but placed in a libyrinth-like way, you can miss some of them if you are not a well coordinated person-like me.

This place is eye-opening, you can see various music instruments from different countries, eras, and cultures.The architecture itself is an art piece. Very beautiful exterior looking.The museum is anglophone-friendly, people like us can read introduction no problem.

This is a wonderful collection of a large number of things related to musical instruments, many of which are musical insturments. Many of the instruments will probably be new to you unless you have a degree in musicology. The organization, both in terms of floor-by-floor and in terms of layout of the floors themselves can use a fair amount of work and were confusing to me. In addition, the tablet guide on one of the floors suffered from technology problems or a terrible user interface -- I never could figure out which.That said, this is a wonderful collection of musical stuff all in one place. Mostly musical things are just a couple in a museum dedicated to other things. If you're willing to put a bit of effort into it, and go knowing that it won't be the most perfect museum experience you've ever had, this will be an experience well worth your time and effort.

So different to explore. Headphones although in different languages give no narrative!Although what you do hear is the different instruments, some I have never heard before. The building itself is beautiful art deco. The only negative is that more of the written information relating to the instruments and building should be in English

Went here with our two kids (9 and 13). Both are learning to play an instrument,so they are interested in music. Well, they liked the museum. The amount of instruments is insane. You are given an audio guide which will give you small pieces of music that are played on the instruments that are displayed. A really nice idea and it makes the trip much more enjoyable.The great building and the look from the terrace on top are an extra bonus.

We decided to buy our tickets in advanced as we were told that the place sells out and we were only in Brussels for a day trip. When we paid though we couldn't access our tickets online. We printed out the receipt and brought it in and after a few tries they let us into the museum. The amount of instruments here is mind boggling, and the music guide is interesting but it would be nice if there was more info about each piece. Some of the really interesting instruments didn't have a sound recording which we were a bit bummed out by, but all in all we had a fun time gawking at all the interesting instruments and learning about the inventor of the Saxophone at their special exhibit. If you like musical instruments I would DEFINITELY go here!

It was very affordable (Only 2 Euros for Students) and fun. When you purchase your tickets you get an audio device so that when you walk in front of selected items the music starts playing. The only draw back was you had to check all of your bags and coats at the front, but it was free to do so.

I did not go into the museum, I just wanted to see the wonderful architecture. This street is all beautiful, the building next to it is also divine, though a different style. There is a museum nearby called The Musee Margritte which is meant to be amazing, though I didn't go. Go for the amazing juxtaposition of architecture.

I have very little time in Brussels and felt that looking at instruments behind glass and hearing a few of them on headsets was a waste of time. I learned nothing about these beautiful instruments.
