Museum of war Brussels

[belgiumreporter]

When i had to be in Brussels for buisness i had some spare time left and i thought it might be a good idea to visit the national war museum as i was in the neighbourhood and it wouldn't take long to get there.
I didn't expect it to be that overwhelming and i was blown away by the enormous collection on display. As i wasn't prepared for the visit i didn't bothered to charge the battery of my camera. After only a short while the camera gave up and i was unable to make the pics i've wanted. Here's what i did get befor running out of juice:

























The good news: entrance to the museum is free, the parking space in front of the museum is free as well. They've got a nice selection of belgium beers in the sky bar, you could easely spend a whole day if you want to see everything on display. At the time of writing this, a special theme exhebition on the first world war is running wich is also more then worthwile. The car museum "autoworld" is just acros the square (entrance not free) currently they have a history of mustang cars going on.
The bad news: it can get boring for people who came along (wife) who are not interested in "this kind of stuff". Museums are closed on mondays.

Very nice images from an interesting place. It could be fun visiting Belgium some time, and the splendid museum, amongst other places.

Of all the archaeological sites in the world I would most like to visit Egypt.

However i suspect I would be less than welcome there now.

Perhaps if I live long enough. By then I might be an artifact.
