Brussels museum commended at BGTW awards

The Belgian Tourist Office has announced that the dinosaur gallery at Brussels' Museum of Natural Sciences was commended at this year's British Guild of Travel Writers (BGTW) awards.

At a ceremony in London on November 9th, the attraction was the runner-up in the Globe Award category.

People taking ferry trips to Brussels have been able to visit the dinosaur gallery since 2007, when it reopened following a three-year restoration programme.

The exhibit includes a unique collection of iguanodon skeletons, which were discovered in a coalmine in Bernissart 130 years ago and date back some 120 million years.

Speaking about the accolade, Kareen Goldfeder of the Museum of Natural Sciences said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been nominated for such a prestigious award. This was totally unexpected and a real honour."

People planning ferry trips to Brussels can sail to the Belgian port of Zeebrugge from Hull with P&O Ferries or to Ostend from Ramsgate with TransEuropa Ferries.
