Whether your goal is a holistic discovery of our exhibits or a specific theme, having your group accompanied by a specialist will give your visit real added value. Designed as observation-led exercises, our guided tours illustrate scientific methods in a simple way: based on the specimens on display, the visitors gather information, interpret it and draw conclusions.

Backstage Tours - The Museum is just the tip of the Institute’s iceberg!

You’ve visited the Museum; now get to know the scientific institution behind it! Starting with the stairs and corridors that are normally off-limits for visitors, you’ll discover the building’s amazing architecture. Then you’ll see a scientist’s office, and you'll visit the depositories and their impressive collections. You’ll see that the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences is jam-packed with surprising specimens.

The visit’s route includes a lot of stairs and narrow passages and so unfortunately is unsuitable for visitors with reduced mobility.

Available in English, in Dutch or in French.

Duration:
01:30
Entry Fees: 

€ 5 per person + € 45 per guide (weekdays only) 

Maximum number of participants:

Science is something you just have to experience!

In our workshops, you will explore the versatility of the animal world, or what the building blocks of the Earth are, what life used to be like or the origins of mankind, and more importantly, how we have obtained all that information. Try it for yourself by observing and asking questions, and then trying to work things out in a creative, fun and educational way. Experience it and find out for yourself!

The workshops are given in Dutch and/or in French.  See also for themes below.

crafting exhibitions

Brussels Nature Education Centre (BNEC) is a Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) service. BNEC’s mission for nearly thirty years has been to create and run small exhibitions about humans and nature. These exhibition-workshops are suitable for families or groups of up to thirty primary pupils aged six to twelve. They do not have information texts and can only be visited with a activity leader. In Belgium these workshops are carried out in French or Dutch. When the exhibition goes on tour, our team trains the new leaders hired by the receiving institution.

Check our List of workshop-expos for rent.
