One of the top museums in Brussels, the Museum of Natural Sciences, or the Musée des Sciences Naturalles as it is known locally, is thought provoking and highly interactive. While most people have come to know natural science museums as being filled with galleries of stuffed animals, this museum is far from the usual sort. For example, one of the highlights of the museum is a computer simulation that recreates the burying of dinosaurs in a mudslide. For younger visitors, there are sandboxes that stimulate their minds by allowing them to search for dinosaur bones. However, the highlight of the museum is, without a doubt, an exhibit that features 10-meter-tall dinosaurs called iguanodons, which were originally discovered in 1878.
