Halloween in het politiemuseum 2014
Zoals vorig jaar, opent het Politiemuseum in het kader van de Nocturnes van de Brusselse Museumraad, haar deuren op donderdag 30 oktober van 17 tot 22u. Met een thema als Halloween, belooft het een griezelige avond te worden.
Tijdens deze avond zijn er verschillende animaties in de zalen van het museum. De kleinsten maar ook de grotere, kunnen er een tovernaar ontdekken die jullie zal verbazen met zijn goochelkunsten. De « cosplayers » stelen ook de show en zullen trachten om jullie angst aan te jagen… Wees gewaarschuwd, ze zijn met zijn vele !
Speel ons « moordspel », dat speciaal voor de gelegenheid en voor kinderen ontworpen werd en vind de schuldige. Een moord werd gepleegd in het museum, maar de aanwijzingen zijn goed verstopt…
U kan ook de normale actviteiten van het museum (her)ontdekken : een reuzegroot ganzenspel rond de thema van de Eerste Wereldoorlog en rondleidingen met alle nodige informatie over onze collectie.
Voor een halloweenavond vol geluid en beeld, die jullie zal doen griezelen … vergezel ons verkleed op 30 oktober.
Toegang : gratis
Plaats : Luchtmachtlaan 33, 1040 Etterbeek
Het toemaatje : kleine betalende restauratie.

Brussels
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Brussels (French: Bruxelles [bʁysɛl] (listen); Dutch: Brussel [ˈbrʏsəl] (listen)), officially the Brussels-Capital Region (French: Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest), is a region of Belgium comprising 19 municipalities, including the City of Brussels, which is the capital of Belgium. The Brussels-Capital Region is located in the central portion of the country and is a part of both the French Community of Belgium and the Flemish Community, but is separate from the Flemish Region (in which it forms an enclave) and the Walloon Region. Brussels is the most densely populated and the richest region in Belgium in terms of GDP per capita. It covers 161 km2 (62 sq mi), a relatively small area compared to the two other regions, and has a population of 1.2 million. The metropolitan area of Brussels counts over 2.1 million people, which makes it the largest in Belgium. It is also part of a large conurbation extending towards the Flemish cities of Ghent, Antwerp and Leuven, home to over 5 million people.Brussels grew from a small rural settlement on the river Senne to become an important city-region in Europe. Since the end of the Second World War, it has been a major centre for international politics and the home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants. Brussels is the de facto capital of the European Union, as it hosts a number of principal EU institutions (the two other capitals are Luxembourg and Strasbourg) and its name is sometimes used metonymically to describe the EU and its institutions. The secretariat of the Benelux and headquarters of NATO are also located in Brussels. As the economic capital of Belgium and one of the top financial centres of Western Europe with Euronext Brussels, it is classified as an Alpha global city. Brussels is a hub for rail, road and air traffic, sometimes earning the moniker Crossroads of Europe. The Brussels Metro is the only rapid transit system in Belgium. In addition, both airport, which is based in the Flemish region and railway stations are the largest and busiest in the country.Historically Dutch-speaking, Brussels saw a language shift to French from the late 19th century. French is now spoken by about 75% of the population. Brussels is bilingual in Dutch and French, as Dutch is spoken by a large part of the population as the first or second language, and is the majority language of Belgium. Brussels is also increasingly becoming multilingual. English is spoken as a second language by nearly a third of the population and a large number of migrants and expatriates speak other languages.Brussels is known for its cuisine and gastronomy, as well as its historical and architectural landmarks; some of them are registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Main attractions include its historic Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Atomium, and cultural institutions such as La Monnaie and the Museums of Art and History. It is also a capital of the comic strip.
