UK monuments to remain in Mini-Europe

Management at Mini-Europe in Brussels have decided to retain the attraction’s UK monuments.

Mini-Europe is a miniature park, home to little scale models of monuments and famous sites from around Europe.

As the models represent monuments from EU countries management had to consider whether to remove all the monuments representing the UK but owner Thierry Meeùs has decided they can all stay.

When Mini-Europe is seen from above, the monuments match up with their countries on a map of Europe.

Brexit isn’t being ignored, however. There will be a red dotted line in front of the UK’s spot as well as a new miniature – a customs house. “This will make it clear that the UK is no longer part of the EU but is a former member state,” said Meeùs.

Mini-Europe in fact has to put quite a lot of work into adjusting its documentation. All the info panels that mention the 28 member states must be altered, as well as educational materials offered to schools and the visitor’s guide – in 11 languages.
