I came here on a whim to kill some time on a cold December day. It was a lovely way to spend a…read morecouple of hours. This comprehensive museum of the Belgium comic book scene was both informative and entertaining. The artwork was just as impressive with the dedicated displays to varying contributors to the Belgium/French comic world. With multiple floors and interactive displays this is a must do if in the area.

As someone who has loved comics his entire life, visiting the comics art museum was a dream come…read moretrue. As a kid, I remember such characters as The Smurfs and TinTin with such fondness and I'm stoked I had the chance to visit a place dedicated to learning more about Belgian comic books. When you first enter the museum you are greeted by statues and a large book store that once again DOES NOT HAVE MAGNETS FOR THE ACTUAL MUSEUM, WHY NOT????? Okay, calming down now. Once you head up the stairs and pay, you are immediately submerged into endless information about the creation of Belgian comics, the history, and even statues of non Belgian characters like Goku from Dragon Ball and Porco Rosso from Studio Ghibli. The middle floor of the museum was full of comic strips, art, and an insane amount of information that wrapped around and brought you back to the staircase where you could go upstairs. The third floor was my personal favourite as it was where the Smurfs room was. When you enter you are immediately shown a replica of the village and a ton of merchandise everywhere. Guess what happens when you walk a little further? You get to see one of the mushroom houses! I also wanted a photo with the big painted wall but there was a class in session so I figured my 35 year old self wouldn't interrupt it for an Instagram photo. Overall, the Comics Art Museum is a mesmerizing place for any fan of comics, cartoons, or art in general to experience. It took us roughly an hour or so to see this place and I easily could have spent more time going over things again and again. This place is a must for any visitor!

The European Parliament complex in Brussels is a super neat set of buildings in the EU's de facto…read morecapital. You can walk right by the area as a tourist and not know what you're looking at (aside from a bunch of cool buildings), but once you know what those buildings are and their purpose and history, it's even cooler! There are tours within these buildings like seeing the Hemicycle (where the EU members meet), the Parlamentarium (an interactive exhibit of EU history), and the House of European History. If you don't have time to attend one of the interior tours, or they're not open to the public at that time, the exterior of the European Parliament is just as neat. The campus that houses the Parliament buildings is the Espace Léopold (Leopoldruimte) and the space itself is very well upheld and beautiful. There is an outdoor courtyard for visitors called Esplanade Solidarność that is the connection between the Parliament Buildings, and it's a good spot to sit and have a coffee or sandwich during your visit. In Espace Léopold, there are also two pieces of the Berlin Wall, that were open to the public when we saw them, but seem to be encased in glass now from what I've seen. Still, they are very interesting to see in person, even behind glass. Whether you're seeing it from the outside or inside, a visit to the European Parliament complex while you're in Brussels is definitely worthwhile - just be sure you plan ahead if you're wanting to do any tours to make sure your dates are available.

It is a complete contrast to the old town. Modern, sleek, and very large. It's Brussels equivalent contrast to Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences, where there's an old town and then a futuristic area not too far away. Unfortunately the main publicly available exhibits are not open on Sunday so the architecture is all i had. However it looks pretty awesome at night and it's a vast structure. If youre into politics and economics im sure there holds a bit more educationally. but to have the whole place to yourself in the middle of the night is pretty awesome.

Stopped by on a Saturday at around 2:30 pm. It's a bit far from the city centre. We walked there…read morebecause it was a 25 minute walk from where we were but on the way back, we ended up taking an Uber because it would have been a 35 minute walk back to our hotel, and there is no convenient public transportation from there. The museum is free with the Brussels Card, which is what we used. I would have been disappointed if we had to pay full price. The museum looks old and has a funky BO smell to it. It needs some upgrades. It was also pretty empty for a Saturday, so that's saying a lot. In the basement is where they house the human lifecycle exhibit and temporary exhibit. The temporary exhibit was actually pretty cool. It was different stations with different puzzles you had to solve. Kind of like a makeshift escape room. A very makeshift because all they did was put up black curtains everywhere. The rest of the museum upstairs was a lot of fake taxidermy animals that don't really describe their habits/habitats - just what they are. We probably spent an about 1.5 hours (the escape room exhibit took us about 1 hour already) before we were over it. Overall, a pretty underwhelming museum for two adults. There are some museums that cater to all ages, but this isn't one of them and could use a serious revamp.

My mom and I visited here a few months ago while we were in Europe and this was a great science museum. We arrived shortly after they opened and the museum was very easy to get through; not a lot of people yet. My mom and I followed the colored arrows on all of the paths throughout the museum, which were easy to follow. If I'm in Brussels again, I would go back.

A myriad of rooms where beautiful music resounds, expositions are presented or theater is played: sometimes live, sometimes projected on a screen. I highly suggest liking their Facebook page to be in the known of their latest activities. They offer classes as well. They manage to have the best musicians perform there. Staff is helpful & cordial. So far I haven't had a bad experience here, this why it deserves a 5 star & a warm recommendation. Close to the Bruxelles Central Station, it's easily accessible. It's close to other tourist spots like Grand Place.

I enjoyed and appreciated the exhibition. I enjoyed wandering through the art gallery and admiring different pieces of art from Mexican artists. I would strongly suggest visiting this museum, it's a must add to your list of things to do when in Brussels. Also if you have not had the pleasure of viewing Frida's work, then rent the documentary or movie, it's fabulous to watch. Not only is the museum well worth seeing but the area is wonderful to roam around too!
