Excellent museum at the Royal Library of Belgium. Over roughly three floors, this small museum focuses on manuscripts from the Dukes of Burgundy collected during the Middle Ages. Really fascinating stuff. You learn how manuscripts are made and the detailed and intricate labor required to make one. Then you are presented with numerous wonderful manuscripts on display covering society during this medieval period, many focused on religion, but also some on chivalry, tales, general life, etc. All beautiful works of art. Excellent English throughout the museum, telling the story and describing in detail what you're looking at. Interactive, as well - you get a wrist band that you can touch on one of the many screens to bring up in even more detail in your chosen language information about the item you are viewing. The museum is warm and welcoming, especially on a rainy day. Bathrooms and obligatory giftshop on site. Recommended for both lovers of books and history in general.

Do you have time? Long lazy hours in front of you? Nothing more peacefully joyful than spending time in the Waterstone English book store of Brussels. From latest literary prizes, to children and teens literature, science popular or elevated, school books and didactic materials, newspapers and gossip magazines, poetry, classics and moderns. They are all represented. You name your interest and Waterstone will have what you need. Staff is also helpful, they read as well so their advice is knowledgeable. You can exchange your likes and dislikes in a intellectually bubbly atmosphere. The fidelity card actually translates in tangible perks on regular basis. And if once you don’t feel like reading never mind - all the British goodies like shortbread cookies and filled egg are there for the pleasure of the mouth.
