Brussels Museums

Brussels’ quirky, offbeat charm is enhanced by its 90 museums, some conventional and some unique. Brussels is the perfect place for the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate, which displays the country’s most famous product and outlines the history of chocolate from Aztec times to the present. The museum explains how chocolate is made, and features demonstrations by chocolatiers and video presentations.

The Belgian Centre for Comic Strips displays historic comic strip drawings by famous artists like Georges Remi, better known by the pen name Hergé, who created the character of Tintin and The Adventures of Tintin, as well as modern comics.

The Musée du Cinquantenaire was built by Leopold II to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Belgium’s independence, and is a grandiose museum that displays collections from antiquity to the present.
