Very interesting in parts, but not very well organized
While I found a lot of interest in this museum, I don't think that it is well organized. Some exhibits (like the round room with 360-degree movies explaining about the parliament) are superb and very informative, but others are too tedious and hard to follow (e.g. hundreds of pictures on the walls each telling a piece of history of the EU - it would've been better to highlight the important ones as it was hard to follow that many). Overall I would recommend this for a 1-2 hour visit for whoever is interested in history.

Educational but not boring
Some quick points Not one for kids. They will be bored. Teenagers with an interest in politics will enjoy it. Allow about an hour and a half. A bit more if you want to read and listen to everything possible! Don’t attend hungry because it’s not a place where you have options of food or drink. The tour is one where you guide yourself on a headset in an exhibit type facility. This is not a tour of the parliament. It’s well done - but for international visitors beyond Europe it won’t captivate as much. There are lockers once past security screening where you can leave bigger bags so you can enjoy your time more It’s a walking exhibit but chairs and benches available to sit down and lifts for those that require them to travel between floors.
