3. Musée des Instruments de Musique (MIM)

UPPER TOWN.   More than 1500 instruments from around the world are featured at this museum, which occupies one of the city's most beautiful and historic Art Nouveau buildings. Highlights include an entire 17th-century orchestra, a spinet-harpsichord from 1619 (one of only two in the world), and a variety of creations by Adolphe Sax, the Belgian musician best known for inventing the saxophone. Entry ticket includes headphones, which allow you to hear the sounds of each instrument as you approach the display cases. The basement offers a special hands-on section for kids, and a sixth-floor restaurant serves sandwiches and boasts a panoramic view of Brussels.   (© 10Best)
