I was really disappointed here. Basically, as an English speaking visitor, you're left with very little information. All you can do is listening to sounds of different exotic musical instruments. There is no metalevel in the information so it ends up being pretty boring. Lots of potential, but it is unfulfilled.

Visiting the museum mostly for the amazing art noveau building, we also decided to visit the museum itself. It was fun! Are you the least interested in music and sounds, take some time to discover the nice collection of instruments found here. And don't miss taking a lunch on the amazing and popular terrace (but be there early since it... More

A museum entirely devoted to European instruments through the ages, with a unique audio guide that plays the music of the instrument you are In front of. I also loved the "Old England" art nouveau building which houses the museum, and the view from the rooftop restaurant ( which was completely booked, so I did not eat there) is superb.... More

Lots of unique instruments and you receive a headset that gives you a recording of almost everyone. Hundreds of instruments to listen too. Not much written Information only name of instrument and the year so if your not interested in listening to music then probably not worth it.

Even if I was a lit bit sceptic at the beginning, now I thing this is one of the best museums in Brussels. Free audio guides which start playing the songs of the near exposed musical instruments.

For only 8 Euro you get four galleries filled with antique and unusual instruments from all over the world. Beautiful and fun to wonder through. Audio tour is music only, programed to play a clip of the instrument you are standing in front of. Names and dates are in English, but the rest of the wall plaque information is not.... More

We had no idea what we were in for when we decided to try this museum. We just wanted to get inside the cool building. This ranks up there with the best we have ever visited. The audio system for listening to the instruments is delightful!
