The Beguinage was inaugurated as a museum in 1930 in the smallest beguinage in Belgium, founded in 1252, where eight beguines used to reside. The collections evoke the history of the municipality of Anderlecht, as told through its collections of archaeological objects and examples of religious and popular art, and the lives of the beguines and their activities. These two buildings surround an enclosed garden which provides a view of the Gothic Collegiate church of Saints Peter and Guidon.The Beguinage is now closed to the public and will be renovated in 2021. A new museum project is under consideration.
