The Halle Gate Museum is housed in a former medieval city gate that was constructed between 1381 and 1383 and is the last remaining vestige of the city’s second walls. In the 19th century, the building was restored in a neo-Gothic style by the architect Henri Beyaert and now serves as a museum dedicated to the history of the medieval City of Brussels.
The museum is part of the Royal Museums of Art and History and offers exhibits and displays on the city’s rich history and cultural heritage.
Inside the museum, visitors can explore a variety of exhibits and displays that showcase the city’s past, present, and future. The museum’s permanent collection includes artifacts and exhibits on the city’s medieval history, as well as its role as a center of trade and industry.
There are also interactive exhibits that provide visitors with a hands-on experience, such as a replica of a medieval workshop and a virtual tour of the city. In addition, do not miss climing up 169 steps and enjoy Brussels’ most stunning panoramic view.
The Halle Gate Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Brussels and its role in shaping the world we know today.
