Description:
LOWER TOWN. This museum ­ which chronicles the economic, social ,and political history of the city ­ first opened in 1887. Located in the "King's House" on the Grand-Place, it tells Brussels' story through old paintings, historic documents, rich tapestries, and a scale reproduction of the city. Although exhibits are not labeled in English, an English-language brochure is available. One exhibit you can't miss is the third floor's collection of several hundred of Manneken Pis's outfits. These costumes, designed for the city's most famous statue, come from foreign heads of state and represent the dignitary's native land. They're typically presented to Brussels during the statesman's first visit.
