Highly recommended. There are two exhibitions here, one on the history of money and the other on the history of the euro. The entrance is free and you also get free audio guide. The museum is very invested, there are many exhibits and interactive games with huge screens and everything. It seems that a lot of money was invested here, and people don't really come. We were actually the only ones in the museum.

The museum is located in a very lovingly and lavishly restored building that was formerly built for a private bank. The rooms alone are very impressive and worth seeing. The exhibition leads through the history of money from shells to coins and the first paper money to the euro. There are a lot of exhibits. Everything is explained simply and understandably.

Visited with a friend, definitely one of the best museums I've been to. Healthy collection of items related to the history of money in Belgium and Europe. Excellent audio guides and equipment to enhance the experience. Friendly staff. Free entry. You do need to go through security, who were friendly and professional on our occasion, to visit.

This museum is one of the many free things to do in Brussels. The museum is housed in a beautiful building with two floors of exhibits. The second floor was the most interesting to me. It recounts the history of money and banking starting with ancient cultures who used shells or feathered belts as currency and ending with the present-day. There are interactive screens in 4 languages telling you about the exhibits and an audio gives vignettes of important people's lives in the context of money/banking. The downstairs is more about banking/finance today and the art work on money itself.

Was not expecting it to be as good as it was, the in-depth audio-guide was a good addition. Wide range of exhibits, not just limited to Belgium or even Europe. Some interesting pieces, and some interactive quizzes and games. Very modern, well designed.

Free and better than many other expensive museums. Very well organized, in some places interactive. There is also an audio guide and you can print fake Euro banknotes with your photo, both for free as well.

(Translated by Google) I was given a pen to use when pressing the explanation button so as not to touch the staff for infection prevention. The Art Nouveau building is very beautiful. Although it is a small museum, the exhibition was easy to understand, and there were plenty of audio commentary and videos. In addition, there were many exhibitions such as euro bills, and I took a leisurely tour for about an hour. The staff is only near the entrance, and there are no guards in the exhibition area, so if you have any questions, you cannot ask. I entered for free, but I may not have entered if it was paid. (Original) 感染予防でスタッフに触らないように、説明ボタンを押すときに使うようにペンを渡されました。アール・ヌーヴォーの建物がとても綺麗です。小さな博物館ですが展示がわかりやすく、音声の解説やビデオも充実していました。また、ユーロの紙幣案など数多く展示してあり、ゆっくりゆっくり見て1時間ほど見学しました。スタッフは入り口辺りしかいませんし、展示部分に監視の人もいませんので質問があっても尋ねることはできません。無料で入りましたが有料だったら入らなかったかもしれません。

Amazing exhibition! beautiful building. Free of charge. Highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) Very nice and free museum in the heart of Brussels! (Original) Zeer mooi en gratis museum in het hartje van Brussel!

Great experience, it had the right balance of text, interactivity and audio/visual. They also had games focused towards children which would make it also a great option for bigger families. The staff was amazing when it came to friendliness as well as towards answering additional questions and know what they are talking about (history graduates).

It’s one of the few free museums in Brussels. It’s more about the general history rather than showing old coins. It’s not very big, meaning on the other hand that it doesn’t take long, around one hour. Everything is pretty new and they give you an audio guide for free in the language you want.

An interesting free museum about money and European banking.

A wonderful museum with lots to absorb and read. It is free and has an interactive program for younger kids. There is an audio tour available that is fantastic and is fun for people of all ages. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area, but allow at least an hour to two hours to fully take in the whole exhibit.

Very interesting museum about money and how it all started to this day with cool hands-on games. Entry is free which makes it even better. It takes about 90 to 120 minutes to get through and you should watch it

Great discovery especially during a guided tour

Very beautiful and guide was fantastic. Free entrance.

It is a free museum that covers in detail the history of currency in the world with an emphasis on Belgian history. Very complete, bearable and easy to understand. Very friendly staff and the museum is located in the National Bank of Belgium.

This museum is open on Mondays and is free admission. Once inside you will soon find out what an interesting little gem this is with lots to read, see and interact with. Easily allow 2 hours as there are some great exhibits and lots of money to learn about. Would recommend a visit.

We really enjoyed the guided tour with Matthias, a very professional guide who I highly recommend! I will remember the story of the note from Leopold III which never existed.

A beautiful building and museum! Learned a lot about the history of money, the stock exchange, securities, etc. A beautifully designed exhibition with, in addition to information, many old coins, banknotes, shares and other objects. Recommended! Friendly and very helpful employees and with the Museum Pass you get a nice book as a gift!

I was really surprised by the quality of this museum and both exhibitions. You'll be able to learn more about the history of money and the euro currency. The audio guide is really good and the museum is very interactive. The museum's entry is free and it's usually very low crowded. I recommend you spend at least 2 hours, specially if you're interested in macro economics.

Super!

Free, nice and interesting. There is an interactive game at the ground floor in which you put different interest rates and you can observe the effect in the economy, genius.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful building Old well renovated bank Presentation of questions related to currency and the BNB very educational, interactive (Original) Très beau bâtiment Ancienne banque bien rénovée Présentation des questions liées à la monnaie et à la BNB tres pédagogique, interactive

Very nice to go with kids. The puzzle for the kids as u go through museum is fun. Also very informative interesting museum.

We were very excited to visit the (Museum of the National Bank of Belgium) we struggled a lot to get there. We had done some research and knew that the museum was wheel chair accessible. My husband does not use a wheelchair but he uses a cane, he cannot climb stairs, so we asked if there was a lift, and the person who "attended" us was very rude and with a "smile" told us "NO". We had seen images in internet of the museum where we saw a lift, we simply felt discriminated against by the staff. I sent an e-mail where I complained about what happened. And although they assured that it would not happen again, the truth is that we had very limited time and itinerary when traveling, now I am at home in the U.S.A. And it is sad that due to the arrogance of a member of the staff it was unfair not to know the museum.

Very interesting do it ad guided tour it's much better.

I send on March 28th an email with a request. Almost a month has past and I've received no reply, not even a confirmation of receipt. Are there people working at the NBB Museum of Belgium?

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum, we had a good guide! (Original) Interessant museum, we hadden een goede gids!

Interesting displays about money throughout the ages and also history of money in Belgium. Free entry.

This free museum is a must visit if you have 1 to 2 hours to spare! It showcases the various ancient currencies and their relevance in society and also highlights the story of Europe's franc and euro.

(Translated by Google) A very nice exhibition ... With the fun and very informative guide ... The students appreciated! (Original) Une très chouette exposition ... Avec le guide c ludique et très instructif ... Les élèves ont apprécié!

My kids really liked the history of money!

It's free museum that you can enjoy. All about the history of money in belgium and then the Euro. Also explain in other culture what will use as money. Explanation of the aproximation of the pay between a man, woman and child/youth. How in old times they calculated the currency and the interests. It is a 3-tier museum, very clean and at the end you can print your picture in the money.

(Translated by Google) interesting, beautifully designed exhibition. A little too little information about minting the coins and printing notes. Something beautiful could be made interactive there. (Original) interessante, mooi opgezette tentoonstelling. Toch iets te weinig info over het slaan van de munten en drukken van briefjes. Daar zou iets moois interactief rond gemaakt kunnen worden.

Very cool money

A nice museum with a very knowledgeable guide in Dutch🙂 Great choice of exposants.

a rather small collection, but of high quality and very well presented

Beautiful historic building turned into museum that takes the visitor on a journey through the history of money and the Euro. Expect to learn about counterfeit, inflation and design in a very interactive and fun way. Don't forget to visit the first floor and take your team to read up on the info panels. Tons of interesting artefacts to discover. Friendly staff as well :)

Very nice artifacts from different continents. A nice description of the history of money, monetary exchange, credit letters and more. The museum also goes through the history of the economic circuit in Belgium. It explains in detail the European Central Bank. What is the role, how is the bank created, how the euro came around, and how it is managed. Also, how you control a fake 50 bill note.

Modern and nice. Very friendly.

It was so nice experience to visit there

(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience. Guides were super. Educational. (Original) Prachtige ervaring. Gidsen waren super. Leerrijk.
