Best places: Local history museums in Flanders

In a tranquil setting, daily life is recreated with objects from the 19th & early 20th centuries.

Founded in 1129, this restored abbey complex features guided tours & a museum with religious art.

😠 We ordered 5 bikes with different sizes and with 32 pinion cassete, but we got only 3 of them at the moment, but we finally got them, despite in no very good condition. In fact, in 2 of the bikes, the gear did nit shift well and we had to go to another shop to fix it, as well as with a brake that di...

👍👍 Not the biggest Museum. But a great place of original history from WW 1. The trenches are the main draw. Still intact and you can walk through them. They seem to go on for ever. Not the easiest place to find down a country side road. Cafe on site. But only takes cash. Museum takes cards and cash. Wo...

👍👍 Roeselare Cycling Museum, interesting for racing fans, seen Den Brieck's bicycle, beautiful wall painting by Lotte, cool Entrance Hall. Visited during reception/networking of 100 percent West Flemish.

👍👍 De Abdij, de rondleiding van één ontzettende aardig meneer, die ons zoveel heeft weten te vertellen, en laten zien! Zeer de moeite waard!

👍 Hier kan je een paar uur verdwalen in het verleden van Aalst en haar bekende bewoners. Mis zeker het deel over carnaval niet, of boek een gids die alle geheimen toont. Ook voor kinderen, vind ik. Oh ja, vergeet ook niet om de binnentuin van het oude klooster even te bezoeken. Da's een fantastische p...

👍👍 Nice place to smoke some kush and enjoy the natures view

👍 Very nice facility. There are also a few nice games in the park (e.g. "monastic" bowling).

👍👍 I used to live here and Brusselpoort was the best view out my windows

👍👍 Prachtige plaats, rustieke omgeving en net op tijd voor de verrassende - door Corona twee jaar uitgestelde - aquarellententoonstelling van Nan Schrevens op 05 en 06 06 2022. Morgen 07 06 2022 wordt Nan 82! Proficiat! Haar werken zijn echte bakens en verademingen in de tijd, interpretaties van de rea...

👍👍 Atmospheric old monastery in the middle of nowhere. Stopped on the way to France and enjoyed the silence and beauty.

👍 Not a bad museum to discover Hasselt. 😉 It traces the history of Hasselt. It's a free museum and very easily accessible on foot. However, I think there should be a translation in French or at least in English because we didn't understand much) (Although we receive a small informative portfolio.) 😕...

👍👍 A real indigenous museum. Where people are central.

👍👍 History has been nicely preserved here. Recommended with a guide

👍👍 Mooi museum elke 1 ste zondag v/d maand open. Ook tegel museum. Aansluitend kan je in de authentieke cafétaria nog van een hapje en drankje genieten.

Historic building featuring exhibits on the history of potatoes & Belgian fries, plus samples.

👍👍 Very beautiful and educational to see who Saint Francis actually was and the origins of the monastic community. Ever since I was a child, I went to mass on Sundays in the Friars Minor church. I was even an altar boy here when I was 17 and helped provide Sunday masses. The Franciscan Fathers lived in...

👍👍 Small but cool museum. Surprisingly many beautiful objects. And free!

😠 Wat een onvriendeijke man aan de ingang, we waren nochtans stipt om 17u buiten, volgens hem waren we te laat naar binnen gegaan!!!
