    Very well done, collections are curated better than most. Displayed chronologically so you can skip around if you have certain interests. The Aviation Museum is connected and included with your admission fee - has a varied collection as well.

    Museum worth a (half day) visit
    Definitely worth a visit. The museum possesses a rich and unique collection, interesting not only for military or aviation lovers. Beautiful location. Panoramic breathtaking view of Brussels at the top. The museum is huge: I wound recommend half a day if you want to briefly see everything. 1-2 hrs won't be enough. Pity that for such a rich collection they give such a poor explanation. Sometimes only in French and Dutch languages. Very few things are interactive. With the right touch this museum could have been a world's greatest. Needs investment? Museum website could use an update as well. No parking available. We used a public parking (€) within 5 min walk. There is a small cafeteria at the museum with good coffee and quite democratic prices. Resume: an enjoyable and educational visit. I recommend.
