Right on the Grand Place of Brussels is the Museum of Brussels which, amongst other artefacts, hosts over 800 costumes for the Mannekin Pis to wear. Quite why such a diminutive figure requires such a wardrobe is a bit of a mystery to me - but there it is.
The building was, apparently, orginally designed for the Habsburg family but was never used as a residence. Thus, the grand design of the exterior is also to marvel at.
