BELvue Museum
The BELvue Museum is housed in a five-level neoclassical building dating from the late 18th century, the Hôtel Belle-Vue, part of an architectural complex built after the Palace of Coudenberg burned down in 1731.It was there that the enthronement ceremony of Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, King of the Belgians, took place on 21 July 1831, fifty years after its construction.The building then served as a residence for members of the Belgian royal family, including the future King Leopold III and Princess Astrid.Since its opening, the BELvue Museum, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF), has completely renewed its permanent exhibition.Employing a theme-based approach and with a modern, interactive exhibition layout, the museum offers visitors the keys to understanding Belgium and Belgian society.
