Fodor's Review:

At the stock exchange, the decorative frieze of allegorical statues in various stages of nudity -- some of them by Rodin -- forms a sort of idealization of the common man. Trading here, as at most European stock exchanges, is via electronic computer screens, meaning that there is no longer a trading floor. Next door lies Bruxella 1238, an archaeological museum where you can inspect the excavation of a 13th-century church.

  • Cost: EUR 3
  • Open: Guided visits from Hotel de Ville, first Wed. of the month, 11:15
