Information

Set inside a small park, now a protected site, the ancient Evere windmill has been home to the Brussels Mill and Food Museum (MBMA).

Don’t miss out: the permanent exhibition dedicated to milling and the major annual exhibition on the food theme.
Until August 29, 2026: "Taste & Tradition. A short history of tasty traditions".

Every civilisation has different categories of food. Alongside everyday foods, there are also drinks and dishes enjoyed on special occasions.

The ‘Taste & tradition’ exhibition explores the close link between celebration and feasting, and offers you the chance to discover the little stories behind these gourmet traditions, from the champagne we sip in honour of someone or some event, to wedding pièces montées as well as birth almonds and Christmas turkeys and St Nicholas biscuits made from speculoos.
