The Museum presents collections in all fields of natural sciences, drawn from all the continents and oceans. 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. The guide tailors the session, useing language appropriate to his/her audience and interacting with the group to enhance the visit.

A mini-rally among the most remarkable pieces of our rooms starting from our room 250 Years of Natural Sciences which traces the history of the Museum and its collections.
It is also possible to follow a general tour of the Museum
From excavations to the interpretation of their lifestyles, a panorama of knowledge about dinosaurs, for larger: evolution and classification elements.
What is biodiversity?
How it develops or, conversely, ailing?
What is its importance in our quality of life?
How to promote a daily basis?
A dive in a habitat full of surprises - the city - can answer these questions.

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.
€ 5 per person + € 45 per guide (weekdays only)
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.
This lorry laboratory travels all over Belgium. It offers students aged 10-14 a series of challenges designed to hone their sense of observation, their practical science skills and their powers of deduction. The activities are an informal approach to scientific methods to give students a taste for science.
An initiative of the Fondation Entreprise / Institut.
