THEME : Banking architecture: take a guided tour of the museum, from cellar to attic
For this year’s Nocturnes, we’re getting reacquainted with the museum’s heritage: its building. Visitors will be invited to discover the eclectic architecture of the museum’s premises, which previously housed a commercial bank, thanks to our brand new, in-depth guided tours! Our guides will take you on a journey to every corner of the building, even the most inaccessible ones. You’ll even get a glimpse of designs and plans from the archives.
Don’t wait to book your ticket on our website for a free guided tour as places are limited!
Prefer to discover the museum yourself?
You can also choose to visit the museum at your own leisure (no reservation required). Our permanent collection is usually open to the public on weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00. But if you’re more of a night owl, then come visit us for free on Thursday 24 April, from 18:00 to 22:00!
Come and discover the history of money, our numismatic collection and other objects from our collection, learn about the role of a central bank, and find out how euro banknotes are produced and protected against forgery! All this in a fabulous setting: a magnificent 19th building boasting many eclectic architectural features – the secrets of which will be revealed on our special Nocturnes guided tours! But that’s not all…
From the storage: presentation of plans and drawings of the building
To highlight further the architectural heritage of the museum’s premises, we are inviting visitors to discover a selection of plans, sculptures and designs that have never previously been put on public display. These are being exhibited especially for Nocturnes in the atrium of the museum. So, even if you choose to take a self-guided tour of the museum, you’ll be able to discover a little more about this architectural gem in the heart of Brussels.
