Taxandria Museum

  Begijnenstraat 28, Turnhout      (+32) 144 36 335     more than a year ago

This history and archaeology museum revives the past with a multitude of precious objects and documents. If you're fascinated by antiquities, then don't miss the 17th-century bible, a beautifully bound book that's so big it requires a weightlifter just to pick it up. The bronze statue of Bacchus, which is over 2000 years old, is still in excellent condition despite its advanced age. And if you think that your office is a sweatshop, just take a look at the painting called The Coercion Mill from 1891. The wretched conditions of the pitiful labourers is written on their tortured faces. The beautiful historic museum building itself is also an attraction.
