Every time I visit Belgium I make sure the pay a visit to this museum. Can't tell when I'm there next time but it's the first place to visit! Best is the go on a weekday, the museum is quiet and you can take your time to watch all this amazing stuff. There are without a doubt lots of replica's but that doesn't influence the awesomeness of it all. Seeing the impressive collection of Iguanodon skeletons while entering impresses me every time, and I mean EVERY TIME. Even though they're basically nothing but bones they seem to stare back at you. You don't have an excuse not to go!

The Museum presents the natural environments of the region thanks to an innovative scenography. Touch, listen, admire or play to better understand the beauty of the Fagne, the magic of water, the majesty of the great forests and its inhabitants. Each year is punctuated by new temporary exhibitions while a "funny investigation" entertains the youngest.
