At the end of the 19th Century, Belgium was at the peak of its economic and industrial performance. The then king Leopold II decided to give the country a face-lift by developing the necessary infrastructure, building new edifices and parks in order to make towns more attractive. The setting up of the Palais du Cinquantenaire, a park for walks and a museum centre in the wild countryside on the former parade grounds is but an example of Leopold II's wishes. |

Erasmus Museum and the Beguinage - Anderlecht
Rue du Chapitre, 31
1070 BRUXELLES
Tél. + 32 2 521 13 83
The Erasmus House and the Beguinage of Anderlecht are the oldest communal museums in Belgium. Together with the Collegial Church of Saint Peter and Saint Guidon they form a valuable historical unity which bears testimony to the glorious past of Anderlecht Commune. Anderlecht went through a period of considerable growth during the Middle Ages as a result of the cult of St. Guidon, the patron saint of cattle, and its position on the pilgrim route to Compostella. In 1252 a small beguinage came into existence here in the shadow of the church thanks to a donation from one of the canons. Around the Collegial Church there were a number of important houses in which the canons of the Chapter lived. Among these was the future pope, Hadrian IV). |

The rich tradition of Belgian beer is kept alive at the Brewery Museum. Visitors are shown implements, brewing and fermentation tubs, a boiling kettle and the material found in an eighteenth-century brewery. In the cosy café, memories of days gone by are brought back to life. Old tankards, antique porcelain and the paraphernalia from an inn of the past illustrate what doubtless deserves to be called "Belgian Beer Culture". |
