Very nice and interesting museum of and about the Belgian painter Paul Delvaux. Many paintings and miniatures of trains. Entrance 8€ but definitely worth discovering

The Paul Delvaux Museum in Sint-Idesbald houses a large art collection by the surrealist painter Paul Delvaux.
The building, Het Vlierhof, the former home of the artist John Bakker, was purchased by the Paul Delvaux Foundation, headed by Paul Delvaux himself. It was a white-painted fisherman's cottage with a stepped gable and a bell gable. The museum opened in 1982, with two additional galleries added in 1983. In 1988, the first underground exhibition gallery opened. In 1997, more underground galleries opened beneath the museum's parking lot.
