Gourmet Museum and Library

The association received the Belgium price CAP48 2009 for this policy[3] Library and museum also organize in situ temporary exhibitions ; they take part in cultural big events (like Made in Belgium in Brussels), and collaborate with other museums or institutions for research.

From 2002, the NPO founder organizes guided walks for the discovery of a particular gastronomic heritage: the edible wild plants.

[4] In addition, the tavern of the museums proposes dishes according to recipes from the library ; it thus allows the public to taste an old and regional cooking.

In addition to diary and tourist information in English, the website offers, in its French part, feature articles on particular subjects of gastronomy.
