The Huns / KMKG-MRAH (Brussels, 5-2-2006)
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |

The Royal museum for art and history is quite an experience itself. Their collection ranges from old movie projectors to Gothic altarpieces; from Egyptian statues to old horse drawn carriages; from an Easter Island statue to Art Nouveau glass....
It's art, it's history, it's a psychedelic trip!
The museum always has some parts that are closed or being renovated so you have never seen it all so be sure to visit this museum at least twice ;-)
Oh and it has a nice shop too!

It was quite crowdy last sunday so if you still want to visit (ends at 26 februari) I suggest going on a weekday ;-)
The exhibit goes from one station to another; starting in Moskou and ending in Vladivostok (obviously). For every city / station there are exciting pictures, objects and stories. What tribes live there? And what are their customs? What well-known person has lived there or wrote about the city? What is the city known for?
You will find answers to these questions and of course some history on the building of the railway itself.
The exhibit is very well designed (ok, sometimes it's a bit too small for a crowd but aren't trains too sometimes?); it gives every city the right atmosphere. There are some movies and music to be seen / heard which also adds to the experience.
If you cannot go you can consider buying the visitors guide because almost all objects and info is in it ;-)
The exhibit is in the KMKG / MRAH (royal museum for art and history) in Brussels (Jubelpark / Parc Cinquantenaire) and you can also visit the main museum with your ticket ;-)
