City library: Muntpunt on the rise

We love culture and Muntpunt is one of those places in the city centre where you feel ‘at home’. Founded as a Dutch-speaking library, this place has so much to offer to everyone in Brussels, including French and English speakers 🙂 Many activities, events, cosy study spaces and a great number of books (which are not only in Dutch). Here’s a photo story which shows all the diversity of Muntpunt.

Bruzz recently reported that Muntpunt attracted 327,000 visitors in the first half of 2017, compared to 270,000 in the first half of 2014. This is a huge increase which proves the value of Muntpunt for Brussels. Number of owners of the membership card (gives access to all facilities and cultural activities) also increased by 3,000.
