The Museum of the City of Brussels, also known as The King’s House, is a municipal museum located on the Grand-Place/Grote Markt of Brussels, Belgium. The museum is situated in the Broodhuis (Bread House) building, which was erected between 1504 and 1536 and rebuilt in the 19th century in its current neo-Gothic style. The museum gives a comprehensive overview of Brussels' history, with particular attention given to the arts, crafts, urbanism, and architecture. The original Manneken Pis is also housed here for security reasons. The building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located opposite Brussels' Town Hall
