As we turn our backs to the steps that lead to the Garden of Mont des Arts we see some Art Nouveau buildings on our way to the Place Royal.
A key Art Nouveau structure, the building was erected in Brussels in 1886. Now fully restored, these former “Old England” shops have regained their full glory. The marvelous museum has an amazing collection of some 7000 instruments representing a large number of countries. The central tower welcomes visitors to a pleasant tea room with a sweeping view of the city.
If I had known about the tea room when we were there, I would have made sure that we visited and rested a while there 
What a fabulous building, love the old English style. You have seen a lot on you vacation.
Have a good Sunday.
Thanks Astrid, I hope you are having a good Sunday too
“Old England’ shops, eh? Postive recognition of the nation of shopkeepers at last.
HaHaHa
It is a curious building to look at.
The words ‘Musical Instrument Museum’ flashed up on my unread blog list, so I set off here ‘hot foot’, to wonder at a few of these 7000 instruments.
Not a Penny Whistle in sight.
What a shame – but as you missed the Tea-room, I guessed you missed the instruments too, and only saw the outside? Actually, it sounds my sort of place – except that it’s in Brussels!
The words ‘Brussels’ and “Old England” are, to me of course, poles apart.
We only got to see the outside as we passed by on our walk around Brussels. It is on our list to go back to places though
This looks like an interesting place to visit.
It does but we didn’t get the chance on this occasion.
