What people are saying:
The Bourse of Brussels is the stock exchange of the country. While a handsome neoclassical building in itself, the Bourse marks the border between the old town center and the more modern district of the city with many chain clothing outlets and fast food restaurants along Boulevard Anspach.

Additional Information
Introduction
The "purse" of Brussels was made by a declaration of none other than Napoleon in 1801, yet the building that as of now houses Belgium's stock trade was not intended for an additional six decades. Development started on the site of a previous butter market, which already had been a Franciscan religious community. Following five long stretches of development, the lined neo-Renaissance building was finished in 1873. It ran consistently as the Bourse for the following 127 years, yet in September of 2000, the Brussels stock trade converged with the trades in Paris and Amsterdam to shape EuroNext. Within the building, which incorporates workmanship by Auguste Rodin, Guillaume de Groot, and French artist Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse must be visited by appointment, and a guide will give a visit to a gathering of at least 20.

The Bourse of Brussels is the stock exchange of the country. While a handsome neoclassical building in itself, the Bourse marks the border between the old town center and the more modern district of the city with many chain clothing outlets and fast food restaurants along Boulevard Anspach.
a beautiful building, if you wait 2more years, you can visit inside..
While we were walking passed through this building, it is very attractive and the guide said it is a stock exchange company and did not said it is 'purse' and build in Napoleon time. So we just passed through and did not spot it.
Used to play a much more important role in Belgium's economy before European integration, and most stock trading went digital. Nevertheless, it is still an interesting visit.
Despite appearances, this IS the Brussels Stock Exchange. The Scottish Bagpiper just happened to wander out of the (excellent) Irish pub, O'Reilly's. Apparently, Rodin himself worked on some of the elaborate sculptures that adorn the building. The Grand Place is only 100 meters away.
