Design Museum Brussels

Definitely worth to visit, you got free entrance with Atomium ticket. Probably even more interesting then inside the Atomium:) lots of plastic, unique examples from modern era till now. Not only belgian designers stuff. And no idea why its only 3.9 rating as it one of the best places to visit in Brussels.

Very cool display of plastics through the different years. As a collector was great to see some of the pieces we have in our collection.

It’s very nice to know from why and where burn the principle object of life
You can understanding if u visit the design museum Brussels
And with the same ticket you can visit 2 time the museum

A nice overview of the history of design during the last hundred years with real objects accompanied by text, so that you can see how we came to this point. I enjoyed it a lot!

Impressive collection and history of plastic. It's interesting the amount of plastic that we use both consciously and otherwise. The museum has a large collection of both novel plastic creations and mundane once such as chairs and tables made of plastics etc.
It's a recommended visit as the ticket was sold as a combo with Atomium. Its only 150m away from Atomium.

We visited the Plastic design display. It was interesting and inspiring pieces.
Plastics when mixed into several materials becomes more durable and beautiful pieces of art.

Really helpful and polite staff. Clean facilities and family friendly +++

Quite interesting museum, I really like all the unusual turniture they have there. We visited it mostly because the tickets from Atomium gave us the access, but I was still considering it.

Surprisingly very interesting museum.

Current exhibition was on objects made with plastic and was actually very entertaining.

There are locker at the entrance where you can put your bag or jacket and they are free, you only need 1 or 2 euros for getting a key, then you'll get your money back.

I highly recommend you go there after your Atomium visit! It's included in your normal ticket.

It was very unique experience with amasing space age furnitures.

Entry was free with an Atomium ticket and is well worth the visit for those interested in mid-century design. Is only a short walk from the Atomium back towards the Heysel metro station. The main exhibit was much bigger than expected with some really quirky pieces, really enjoyed the visit.

Amazing collection of design objects, if you have an interest in contemporary design this place is a must. With student reduction you can also access the Atomium for peanuts. I get some people might be disappointed but this is a design museum, not the history of technology. If you see so many chairs it is because such a simple element of furniture has been the subject of countless studies and new designs are proposed, one after the other.

The museum is one of a kind, worth the visit and they have a combined ticket option with the Atomium.

We had a combined ticket for the Atomium and the Design Museum. And what to say? We've been very happy about!!
The museum is absolutely a visit worthy, especially for people with interest in design, furniture design and arts.
Great exhibition, very friendly and helpful employees. It's not that huge, but if you are interested you will take your time to watch everything.

Very nice collection of design object with themed of plastic! Entrance fee is included in the Atomium ticket, museum closes at 7, and 6 minutes away from Atomium, prefect to come after visiting Atomium :)))

I thoroughly enjoyed the design museum.
Their collection on plastic is amazing.

Full disclosure I do thoroughly enjoy interior design and furniture. If that’s not your thing you may enjoy it less.

We bought the 17€ ticket at Atomium that includes the top of the Atomium, the Atomium exhibit and the design museum.

We found that to be good value for money as we wanted to go the design museum (10€ on its own) and were also interested in the Atomium.

There was also another exhibit in the design museum but it appealed less to us than the plastic section and we were short on time so didn’t go in. Was very different subject matter so maybe a little something for everyone.

Made our day! Loved to read about our daily life furniture history and authors, difficulties they faced while designed those chairs, computers or anything that surrounds us everywhere, everyday. We were especially surprised that this museum has entire hall dedicated for non successful designs, super funny and interesting to hear what stories they hide behind and why couldn’t work in real life.

Functional design, I am born in the wrong century 😅

Quite a variety of furnitures, objects from daily life. Molding was quite a thing then.

There is a space where you can try the chairs, people looked at me funny, but it was worth. They are OK that you take pictures, but you can't use your flash (it deteriorate pigments! And you don't want to use your flash for great photos, I even had to turn ISO and aperture way down WITH a cpl filter ^^).

It's worth to visit with a camera and CPL filter, lighting does a LOT and taking pictures with while playing with your filter will definitely give you joy, at worse, a second look 😉

Note: if you bring kids, you'll have a hard time to keep them from touching the pieces, I net adults failed ^^

Really cool place and a lot of things to see!! Entrance is included in ticket for Atomium so it’s also a really big plus!!

The museum is located right next to the Atomium and the price of an entrance ticket is 10 euros (adult). After I visited it, I went to the Atomium, where the price of an entrance ticket is 16 euros (adult), BUT this price includes both visiting the Atomium and the design museum. The people at the design museum didn't give me this information... So I recommend going to the Atomium first to buy a ticket with which you can visit both locations.
