There’s always something new to discover in Brussels, right? Our museum is hidden beneath the two toll houses at the Porte d’Anderlecht/Anderlechtsepoort, far beneath the busy streets of the city: you enter through one toll house and exit through the other.
Make sure you bring a nose clip, because not only will you be discovering science and history during your visit, but also walking along the river Senne, and right through the main sewer under Chaussée de Mons/Bergensesteenweg! Can you spot a rat?
Did you know that you can learn a lot about public health from sewage water? Or that rats are actually useful? Or that underground passages prevent the city from flooding? During your visit, you will be delving into the science and history of this hidden river and its sewers.
What does a day look like for a sewer worker? What do they actually do down there? In this museum, we shed light on the misunderstood work of sewer workers.
In case of heavy rainfall, access to the Senne and/or the sewer of the Chaussée de Mons may be closed for safety reasons. Check the website on the day of your visit to know whether or not the museum is fully accessible.
