Hunting the Snark: Find the beasties lurking in our museum!
The depictions of animals in Renaissance art are at the heart of this visitors’ game. In addition to the focus on the works and their details, it is also a fun way to learn about history, the arts and the Renaissance period.
All 6 to 10 year olds supervised by an adult may take part in this very singular scavenger hunt, where the goal is to find the real, invented or hybrid animals hidden in the museum’s many works of art. Think up your own fantastic creature based on real animals, just as the famous painter Hieronymus Bosch did, draw it and don’t forget to give it a very original name!
Visit the restored beguinage
The restoration of the smallest beguinage in Belgium was completed in 2022. Before its brand-new museum project is inaugurated in early 2024, the Anderlecht beguinage is opening its doors to the public for a few events. These exceptional opening days will enable everyone to discover this entirely restored architectural jewel in a pristine state before its reallocation as a museum space.
Upon the occasion of its re-opening, you will be able to discover the work done to restore its original appearance to this extraordinary heritage site unique in Europe.
