Follow a museum-focused walk through Brussels, moving from fin-de-siècle art and Magritte’s surrealism to musical instruments, archaeology and comic art. Along the way, you will encounter museums devoted to migration, the city’s history, architecture, natural science and world cultures. Each stop offers a different way to look more closely at Brussels and the stories collected there. Take this walk for a varied cultural route with plenty of reasons to pause indoors.
