Events

Are you looking for a spectacular and exclusive location for your event? Whether for a scientific conference, a product launch or a gala dinner, the Museum offers you and your guests the event of a lifetime! Contact Isabelle Van Loo (+32 2 627 45 34).

When the Museum closes its doors to the public, we open again for business: we host receptions on the Dinosaur Gallery Mezzanine, organize cocktails in the BiodiverCITY Lobby, or welcome guests for a seated dinner amongst our dinosaurs.

Some clients wish to launch a new product, or impress their guests to a powerful presentation. Others ask for guided tours of some or all of our galleries and rooms. Occasionally, people ask us to open the entire Museum for a walking dinner from the Gallery of Evolution on the top floor, via the Dinosaur Gallery, the Mineral Hall and the Gallery of Humankind, all the way down to the Mosasaur Hall.

Whether an intimate dinner for 15 people or a spectacular evening for 1,500 guests, the Museum makes your event unforgettable.

During daytime, our meeting rooms and auditoriums are available as well, for small business meetings or large conferences up to 150 people: we have the solution, and your participants will be thrilled to spend some working hours in our museum.

By organizing your event in the Museum of Natural Sciences and thus generating income for us, you help children to discover the museum and its collections, you contribute to the knowledge of biodiversity, and you finance new galleries and research projects.

Events and renting our rooms and galleries is an integral part of our fundraising, and can be part of your corporate social responsibility. Want to do more? Do not hesitate to contact us!

The Museum of Natural Sciences is a proud member of Brussels Special Venues, a unique concept and the only industry focused non-profit association representing 30+ exceptional event venues in Brussels.
