Natural History Museum in Brussels
About
The Museum of Natural Sciences is part of the Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and is considered the most visited venue of its kind in Brussels. The museum's collection is based on a history of deep research spanning more than 250 years, conducted by scientists not only in Belgium but also in other European countries.
Speaking in numbers, the museum's exhibit range includes 15 million various insects, 9 million protozoa and invertebrates, as well as 25,000 minerals and 511 meteorites. The Museum of Natural Sciences features a separate hall with iguanodon dinosaurs and other reptiles. Lunar rocks, ancient whale remains, and a vast exhibition dedicated to the step-by-step evolution of humans are also exceedingly popular among visitors.

Adepte de la protection du vivant, du sauvage, et du libre, j’ai toujours un peu de mal avec des animaux empaillés, surtout pour les oiseaux. La visite se fait sur plusieurs niveaux avec plusieurs thèmes abordés (dinosaures, espèces préhistoriques, fossiles, pierres, monde sauvage, espèces contemporaines, l’Homme...). La section Dinosaures est plutôt bien fournie, et de grande qualité. Idem pour la section fossiles. La section Monde Sauvage, avec la présence de 2 fusils pour tirer sur des cibles me semble inappropriée et hors de propos pour un musée/institut de ce type ! Certaines sections/animations sont plutôt bouche-trou. Mais la grande majorité des expos et panneaux restent très interessnts et ludiques pour tout type de public. J’ai traversé très rapidement la section "Homme". Viscères, cœurs, fœtus, boyaux ou autres joyeusetés, très peu pour moi. A faire, donc, mais avec un accompagnement explicatif pour les plus jeunes sur certaines sections.

All my favorite dinosaurs in one place!
