The Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) (French: Musée des instruments de musique; Dutch: Muziekinstrumentenmuseum) is a music museum in the Royal Quarter of Brussels, Belgium. It is part of the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH) and is internationally renowned for its collection of next to 10,000 instruments.

Since 2000, the museum has been housed in the former Old England department store, built in 1899 by Paul Saintenoy in Art Nouveau style, as well as the adjoining 18th-century neoclassical building designed by Barnabé Guimard. It is located at 2, rue Montagne de la Cour/Hofberg on the Mont des Arts/Kunstberg, next to the Place Royale/Koningsplein and across the street from the Magritte Museum.
