The Royal Museums, as it is collectively known, is made up of various smaller museums including le Musée du Cinquantenaire (the Royal Museum of Art and History), le Musée des Instruments de Musique (Museum of Musical Instruments), and les Musées d'Extrême-Orient (the Museum of the Far East). The largest of the museums, the Musée du Cinquantenaire, houses every type of art (except paintings) from every continent on the globe. This museum, with more than 650,000 pieces alone, could be the only reason for your trip to Brussels! Be sure not to miss the exotic Museum of the Far East and the fascinating Museum of Musical Instruments. Truly a mecca for art lovers, history buffs, music enthusiasts, and curious people of all types.
