You'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about inflation levels, how coins and banknotes are issued and how payment methods and the place that money holds in our daily lives has evolved through the years. If you're lucky, you might even get to head down into the old vaults under the museum...

What would our beloved Bond be without some grandiose decor as a backdrop? Vintage furniture, futuristic lines, luxurious hotel rooms and modernist villas: One of 007's defining traits is his taste for the finer things in life. The permanent collections of the Plastic Design Collection take us back to the pop aesthetics of the sixties and the spirit of the great set designer who worked on the series' first film: Ken Adam.

Whether he's in London, the Bahamas, Monte Carlo or Las Vegas, Bond always manages to find himself at the green baize of a casino table. Enjoy the Casino Royale experience at the Viage Theatre, Brussels' casino par excellence and the largest poker room anywhere in Belgium. Viage and its Digital Art Theatre also host events and immersive exhibitions throughout the year.

If you're into big cars and screeching tires, Autoworld will feel like you've died and gone to heaven. You'll find over 300 vehicles, carriages and motorcycles from all over the world, which outline the history of the automobile. Among the gems of this collection, alongside Spirou's Turbotraction, are a few sparkling Alphas, the incredible Citroën SM, the gorgeous Honda NSX and a handful of Ferraris that would make even Mr Bond blush...

Whether on land, underwater or up in the skies, James Bond always demonstrates flawless agility. Fans may recall the breathtaking aquatic battles of Thunderball or the breathless amphibious scenes of countless other Bond films. To feel the thrill of the abyss (without getting wet), a visit to the NEMO33 diving pool, with its underwater caves and 33-metre depth, are a must. Four giant portholes allow the non-divers among you to watch the swimmers in action whilst you have a bite to eat. Now that's something new to try!

Feel like a trip to the stars? Here in Brussels, there's no need to board the Moonraker to see them up close! Stare up at the 840m² dome of the Royal Observatory of Belgium and admire constellations, shooting stars, planets and galaxies. It's a fascinating experience which will help you to better understand the cycles of the moon, the seasons and the characteristics of the planets. You’ll feel like you're in a science fiction movie!

A long-distance traveller, 007 is a true free spirit, juggling time zones and hemispheres. His missions take him all over, from Azerbaijan to Japan and Bolivia to Jamaica. But if you want to travel without seriously increasing your carbon footprint (let alone draining your bank balance), there's nothing like a browse through the galleries of the Art & History Museum. You can stroll alongside Egyptian mummies, immerse yourself in Inuit culture and admire pre-Columbian statuettes (along with much more)... It's a real world tour, take it from us!
