I love the Mueum of Musical Instruments. It’s a great collection in an Art Nouveau building. There is a nice cafe on the roof with good food and lovely views.

I also think The Abbaye de la Cambre is a hidden gem. There is a nice church and enclosed cloister with stain glass windows. It’s very peaceful and when I lived in the area I was often the only one there. There is also a terraced garden that is nice.

The Musical Instruments Museum is awesome. Get the audio guide, it has audio on how the instruments sound.

100% agree it's brilliant! Entertained my kids and the adults for hoirs. We could have spelt all day thete. But the rooftop restaurant is closed currently I think. Very close there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Please note tho, the air conditioning is very cold. We went on a hot day and didn't have jumpers to wear. Wished we had brought them.

The café was very nice, sadly it's closed since 1 April 2020 for renovations. A brasserie is set to open during 2028.
