Traveler reviews
Nirav Parikh
★★★★★9 months agoNice small museum with a huge collection of different outfits of Manneken Pis. There is also a mini statue which you can dress up with sample outfits and decorate it to create your own version of Manneken Piss. You can visit this place for free on 1st Sunday of the month otherwise it has small entrance fee. This place is only recommended to fans of Manneken Pis.

★★★★★a year agoThe museum itself is small, but it captures everything perfectly. There are so many outfits of the little guy. The staff was also really friendly and the entry fee was cheap, if you’re interested in seeing all the different looks, i can recommend it for you to visit.
