Belvue & Coudenberg Museums

Last Wednesday I went to the Belvue and the Coudenberg Museums in Brussels with my friend, Karen. The Belvue Museum provided a history of Belgium and and examined the reign of Albert I, the King of new Belgium. The Coudenberg Museum is an archaeological site containing the former palace of Brussels. At the Coudenberg we went on a self-guided underground tour discovering the remains of the palace of Charles V. The building was severely damaged by fire in 1731. In the 1770's, the remains of the palace were pulled down and the ground was flattened out.
