Couldn't agree more on the feeling this city is seen as disposable as used as an "experience" by many.

Ps, just wanted to add to your list: La Fonderie, the industrial history museum of bxl, also organises guided walking tours: 7 Sept on the history of social housing, 21st on jobs and materials used during the Art Nouveau period, and I remember in the past generally many focused on the industrial history of the town, for example in Molenbeek!

Always good to explore, yet not enough of us explore where we actually live. Embrace all the opportunities to ‘live and learn’

Good point, one of my least favourites aspects of living in Bxl is the frequent whining of immigrants/expats about a city they don't even try to live or understand. Just today I was trying to explain to some bruxellois friends what is Plux since they never heard about it (good for them) - way to go to burst the EU/expat bubble
