Paul Delvaux Museum

[2] Delvaux had a personal connection to Saint-Idesbald and had built a house and studio in the style of a fishing cottage there in 1951.

[3] A driving force behind the museum was Delvaux's nephew Charles Van Deun, who on the foundation's behalf purchased Het Vlierhof, a former fisherman's cottage that had been enlarged into a hotel-restaurant.

Transforming it into a museum took six weeks and the inauguration took place on 26 June 1982, with Delvaux and his wife Tam present.

[3] After Delvaux's death in July 1994, the museum offered visitors to bid him farewell and write in condolence books in the presence of his open coffin.

[2][1] It exhibits personal belongings of Delvaux, whose interest in rail transport is reflected in many models of trams and trains.
