Musée de l’Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique

This family-friendly museum explores the natural world from prehistoric to modern times. The collection encompasses fifteen thematic sections, allowing visitors to stick to the topics that most interest them. Delicate seashells, a marine tank, an insect room, and a display comparing the Arctic and Antarctic are all popular, but the real stars are the “Iguanadons of Bernissart,” eighteen dinosaur skeletons discovered in southern Belgium. Accompanying them is a series of animated dinosaurs that moves and makes sounds when you press a button.
