N	Noah Levin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a good museum for a 1-2 hour visit. There are many historical paintings to demonstrate how life was in the evolving city, plus ceramic and tapestry, so you get a bit of 2 for 1 art and history. Price is decent, 8 or 10€, and worth the money. Also, worthwhile just to see the original Mannekin-Pis and learn why Brusselians are so obsessed with the little guy. If you like porcelain or landscape painting, I definitely recommend it. Also, plenty of material to read in English, German, French, and Flemmish.
A	Anastasia Katopodis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is no unifying theme or organization to this museum. It is in a beautiful and historic building, but the artifacts don't measure up to the space they are in. There is a hodge-podge of items. There is a uninformative display of Leopold I, with nothing of substance indicated, and a little further along are glass display domes with stuffed bats. How are they related? The placards are in French and German(?) and no English, but an app can be downloaded to explain what you are seeing. The app, however, is not synchronized to the displays. Some are explained and others aren't. There are several numbers on displays, bit they don't match. The app. On the plus side, there is a free coat rack and lockers are only one EUR, which you get back when you are done. I wish I had not wasted my time on this museum.
M	Mauricio Molina on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent museum where you can see the history of the city as well as many exhibits about the architecture of the city and the many customes made for the baby peeing fountain ... and the display about the tapestry restoration and explanation of this art... Well worthed the entrance fee
R	Rajiv M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Brussels City Museam, a Gothic style architectural wonder, was built in 1887 at the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium. In 1936, the building was designated a historic site and in 1998 it was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the rest of the Grand Place. The museum is devoted to the history of Brussels fine and applied arts, the origin and development of the city, the history of the people of Brussels and the dressing room of that quintessentially Brussels symbol, Manneken-Pis! I would highly recommend a visit here. There are lots of other beautiful places to visit and spend time around the Museum. Give yourself atleast half a day if not a full day.
R	Rick Jonsson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you want to learn more about Brussels and the folklore then have a look at the City of Brussels museum, over two floors it will start at the early settlements to today, I suggest this is more of an rainy day activity unless you have an urge to know more about Brussels, having said that it is a on interesting visit.
B	Bart Eekhaut on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Museum of the city of Brussels. Holds small collection of tapestries, paintings, wooden altarpiece, paintings and pictures. Also the authentic 'manneke pis' and the original pique of city hall
M	Mariano Matayoshi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great museum that explains how Brussels was made from mediavel age. It's also the original maneken piss. There's an audio guide you can listen for free on your cell phone, so be sure to have you headphones handy.
