Museums in Anderlecht (Brussels, 28-6-2008)

Anderlecht used to be a village near Brussels but is now part of this big city. It's a really beautiful place with a big church (St.-Guidon, the patron saint of Anderlecht), many nice buildings and two small but wonderful museums.

The first one is situated in the beguinage which is rather cute and small. The museum shows all kinds of objects related to Anderlecht and the beguinage. It's rather quaint so I totally love it ;-)

The second museum is the house of Erasmus (see pic). This Dutch Humanist lived here for a while, very much enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
In this museum there are special exhibits, objects Erasmus used to own and of course books from Erasmus.

You can visit both museums on the same ticket (and it's very cheap!).
You can easily reach Anderlecht by taking a metro from Brussels Central Station.
