Victor Hugo Walk in Brussels - The MLM

As I told you before, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert contain a couple of gems. For example, there is a museum at this location and you can find it at the entrance of the Galerie du Roi. MLM stands for Museum of Letters and Manuscripts. According to the information on the map:

This new museum preserves and displays manuscripts and letters of eminent characters in world history. As far as Victor Hugo is concerned, the museum holds a fragment of the manuscript of “Napoléon-le-Petit”. This is particularly relevant, because Hugo wrote this inflammatory pamphlet against Napoleon III during his exile here in Brussels.

We hope to visit this museum before the end of this year; it has been on our wish list for quite some time now, but we never seem to be able to get there! You can find more information here.
