The Military History Museum in Brussels is without doubt one of the better ones in Europe. The exhibition is really very comprehensive, but sometimes not in best condition.The entire museum is covered and thus retains the exhibits from corrosion. The museum is dedicated to the military history of Belgium and in addition to the aircraft collection so many other exhibits. The spectrum ranges from the antique weapons up to a modern tank. 

Useful information’s for visitors: The Museum is located next to the arch at Jobelpark and is easily accessible by car. There are enough parking spaces available. Photography is allowed, but without a tripod and flash. In the hangar, it is usually bright enough. In Belgium, shops, museums etc. closed from 12pm till 1pm. This counts also for the museum. The aviation-hangar will be open all day.
