If you go to the Belgian Heritage Center in Brussels this year, you will see a part of the newly renovated center. The center has finished its renovations on the 1894 former convent and parochial school. Joe Alexander, co-chairman of the center, describes some of the artifacts now stored in the schoolhouse.

The Belgian Heritage Center is open every week for self-guided viewings Friday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. If you wish to schedule a tour led by one of their guides, you can call the number at the Heritage Center or email them at tourinfo@belgianheritagecenter.org. In August, the Belgian Heritage Center will hold its annual Kermiss event full of authentic Belgian food and drinks, along with live music and a bucket raffle. More information on tours and events can be found on the Belgian Heritage Center website.
