Brussels - museum on the Grand Place

Right on the Grand Place of Brussels is the Museum of Brussels which, amongst other artefacts, hosts over 800 costumes for the Mannekin Pis to wear. Quite why such a diminutive figure requires such a wardrobe is a bit of a mystery to me - but there it is.

The building was, apparently, orginally designed for the Habsburg family but was never used as a residence. Thus, the grand design of the exterior is also to marvel at.
