Filmmuseum/Musee du Cinema, Brussels

Moved in 1969 to the cellars of the Palais des Beaux-Arts, this film museum is not only a fascinating museum (admission is free), but it also houses two theatres. Within the museum exhibition, you can discover the primeval history of cinema shown in 40 display boxes, demonstrating early innovators' efforts to get moving images onto the big screen. The two small theatres show five films a day, generally surrounding a theme. In the smaller of the two theatres, there are two silent movies shown each day, accompanied by live piano music. Admission: Free.
