The curator Daniel Van Damme founded the Beguinage Museum in 1930 and the Erasmus House in 1932. Most of the collections were compiled by him and his successor Jean-Pierre Vanden Branden. The Beguinage collections reflect religious life and the daily lives of the beguines as well as local life at the end of the XIXth century. The Erasmus House collections revolve around the writings of Erasmus and evoke his era through XVIth century works of art, furniture and sculptures.<\/p>\n
