Brussels-Musical Instrument Museum-organs and electric keyboards





I had missed this floor last trip. Glad I found it this one. I love the keyboard theremin. You can also see the little strip that you plug your headphones in to the right of the theremin organ.

Brussels-Mannekin Piss







Perhaps you remember him from my earlier blogs from Brussels. Today he is dressed for the celebration.



But, apparently he will be taking his clothes off again and picking up his electric guitar soon.

Brussels-Ceremony at Hotel d'Ville II

































If you click on the photo and look to the right of the policewoman's head you will see the American Ambassador.


I love the way they put everything in both French and Dutch-everything.
