KBR Museum

The KBR Museum is the museum of the Royal Library of Belgium.

The collection includes numerous manuscripts from the Library of the Dukes of Burgundy, founded by Philip II of Burgundy.

The first floor of the museum presents the different stages in the creation of a manuscript: preparation of the medium, the work of the copyist, illumination and binding.

The tour has been specially designed to appeal to all the senses : hearing, sight, touch, etc.

Practical information :
  • Admission is free for visitors with disabilities (+ 1 accompanying person).

  • At the entrance, you will be given a digital wristband to enhance your interaction with the museum's content. Three different levels are available: children's tour, discovery tour and in-depth tour.

  • Information about the manuscripts on display and their era is available in several languages.

  • Good to know : Did you know that manuscripts are too fragile to be on permanent display ? To protect them, the museum changes the manuscripts twice a year.
