Nouveau de Bruxelles

I reminisce over my trip to Brussels, Belgium, fondly. I spent a long weekend in the city many moons ago. That weekend, all the museums were open after hours, shuttle buses zig-zagging patrons across the city. There was live music, food, drinks and dancing in spaces typically reserved for more hushed tones. I vividly remember the sensations I felt as we pulled up to this striking example of Art Nouveau architecture. I felt a sense of awe looking at this building constructed out of girded steel and glass, something I’m less accustomed to seeing. Stepping into the building brought me even more delight as I found myself inside the Musical Instruments Museum. Both the outside and inside of this building left a lasting impression on me, a feeling that something new had been created in this place.
