Lots of Brussels museums are taking part in Nocturnes 08 and staying open late on Thursday evenings until the end of the year.
There's a choice of well-known museums such as the Museum of Musical Instruments, lesser-known ones including the Toy Museum (children and adults are allowed to play!) and the Schaerbeek Museum of Beer, and places you’ve heard of but weren’t sure if they were open to the public e.g. the Royal Library of Belgium.
If you want to visit a popular one, reserve early. I just tried to join the guided tour at the René Magritte museum in Jette this evening only to be told it was already sold out.
Information and schedules are on: http://nocturnes.brusselsmuseums.be

Hi Anna,
Great to see mention of Toy Museum! - it's an uncanny place which made my head spin (lots of Proustian madeleine moments!) - especially the Salles des Trams, which is just bizarre. Big contrast to the London Museum of Childhood, which I had to study recently (we presented our findings via shadow puppets!!!) and which is really designed for sentimental adults rather than kids. As ever, Belgium does it crazier.....!
Keep up the blogging, nice idea....
