Museum Broodhuis, La Grand-Place Bruxelles - world heritage

La Grand Place, Brussels, both cheered and abused, but always prominent in the capital of Europe. The "Broodhuis", a former 12th century bread market, now accommodates the municipal museum. Step by step, room after room and floor after floor one travels through Brussels' history. The model replicas give a clear picture of the old city. In fact the city is a veritable archipelago of districts of which La Grand Place is at the centre. In days of old, solidly walled to keep criminal elements outside. In the museum you discover that each street in the city centre refers to the central roles that Brussels played over the centuries. It was all happening here from the 10th century on, trade, arts and science. Downtown and uptown Brussels expanded. The water and the city harbour basins may have disappeared, but the trading spirit is still there. The "Manneken", there he is once again, now as a tailor's dummy. At the municipal museum they proudly present different garbs in which he performs his tricks. The bread house, the French call it "La Maison du Roi", but only after the duke of Belgian Brabant became king of Spain. The king never lived there, but that's a detail. After the destructive 1695 shelling, part of La Grand Place was rebuilt with Italian baroque overtones. The square is now a beautiful whole without any stylish lapses although sometimes little reminders of Louis the 14th shine through.
