moof - Museum Of Original Figurines

Brussels, having lots of advantages, is unfortunately not the most sunny place in the world. Fortunately, it offers a lot to its inhabitants, even on the rainy days.


On one of those days we were googling around and came across moof. After a quick look we have made a decision and half an hour later four of us was sitting in the car. Yes, I wish to say "5 minutes later" but only a parent will understand why half an hour of packing for a small ride is a blast with two small kids. Anyway.


The address provided on visitbrussels.be was "Rue Marche aux Herbes" and we have strolled through the whole street only to arrive at Galerie Horta. And the museum happens to be just there! You are, of course, welcomed by the big Schtroumpf statue just in the front.


I was not sure if visiting museum of figurines is going to be fun or completely boring. What can you really do with figurines right?


Wrong. It was absolutely great. There is lots of items, from both worldwide known characters and obscure Brussels comics. The place itself is really well decorated creating cool, a bit mysterious ambiance.


There is a lovely gift shop, of course, a whole area filled with comic books you can read at comfortable sofas, and arcade games zone.


I am definitely saving this address for the upcoming cold days.


PS. Upcoming cold days remind me - don't miss the Nocturnes! This year they start at 5pm so we can even drag the kids with us!
