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.

The museum is managed by the Paul Delvaux Foundation, which was established in 1972.
The museum aims to offer an overview of the evolution of Delvaux's work. Prints, drawings, oils, and watercolors are just a portion of the collection. His Brussels studio has also been recreated in full size, and numerous objects bequeathed to the museum by the artist and his wife are on display. A series of train models commissioned by him are also on display.

In the video room, you can watch a montage of interviews, commentaries, and an overview of his work.
