The Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels, as the name suggests, contains some of the world's oldest musical instruments (some are more than 500 years old!) and some of the world's finest craftsmanship. The precision behind these works of art will leave you in amazement, and all secrets behind the genius construction are revealed in the museum's own reconstructed workshop.
Whether these priceless instruments inspire or fascinate you, with almost 2000 authentic instruments there's something for everyone in the Brussels Musical Instrument museum, the largest museum of musical instruments in the world! Be sure not to miss the excellent seasonal exhibits, there's always something new to see!
