Delve into 800 years of stories and 100 years of the museum in 40 pages

A museum cannot exist without stories. They connect us to others and the world. At Gaasbeek Castle, we are interpreting the stories of 800 years of castle inhabitants and an interesting group of collection pieces. We invite visitors to leave the everyday hustle and bustle behind and be amazed by the castle and its surroundings. We immerse them in the atmosphere of the time and allow them to attach their own meaning to their experience. This experience can be broadened or extended thanks to the special edition of 'Openbaar Kunstbezit Vlaanderen', devoted entirely to the castle.

Browse through 800 years of adventures and, in addition to many historical stories, discover an extensive selection of images from our collection, from paintings to coins, from old favourites such as the astronomical clock to contemporary works by Cindy Wright, Erwin Olaf and Ben Sledsens. Restoration works and new settings are also highlighted.

This publication, co-sponsored by 'Openbaar Kunstbezit Vlaanderen', offers a refreshing take on Gaasbeek Castle!

Available at the Museum Shop in the Entrance Building, available in Dutch, French and English, €8.
