GardeRobe MannekenPis — Attraction in Brussels

Fantastic. It's a small place, just one room, and it seems like there wouldn't be that much of interest but actually it's full of surprising and unexpected discoveries: for example, a replica of the first outfit gifted to the statue, sewing pattern and documentary video about the process of costume construction, a document about the position of Official Dresser of the statue and the manuscript of a song dedicated to Manneken Pis 😂 Entry is €5 for adults (under 18s free). I am a total costume nerd so it was very enjoyable to see so many of the outfits close up. They also have some nice activity books for kids to help them engage with the exhibition, as well as three replicas of the statue that you can dress yourself 🤗 There is also a computer showing more costumes and which countries contributed. You can buy souvenirs here too, like magnets and playing cards showcasing the statue in its various outfits, of course.

The museum itself is quite small and will take you about 15 minutes to look at all the different outfits. I visited on the first Sunday of the month so admission was free. I would be quite upset if I had to pay 8 Euro (combined ticket with Brussels Museum) to get in because it should...

Tiny museum, but so full of information! If you have any interest in the famous statue, this place will delight you. Mannekenpis regularly gets dressed up in all kinds of costumes, a tradition dating back over 400 years! He has over a thousand costumes, from all over the world and for all kinds of occasions. This museum displays a selection of the costumes, and also includes two screens where you can view the entire collection. They have an audio guide in a few languages that gives really detailed descriptions of costumes, traditions, and interesting tidbits. It's not big, but I really enjoyed this...
