We went to a museum that Jo would love. It was the 15th century home of a printer. Antwerp was an early center of publishing and the house was loaded with printing equipment and books. His grandson hired Rubens to illustrate his publications and the house had the original copper plates etched by Rubens. He also had Rubens paint portraits of him, his family and friends and those portrait were there. Quite a place.
I did not mention that our hotel was near the diamond district, China town and the Jewish neighborhood (which is thriving-not a museum).
(Note to Sara and TJ: our very modern hotel had a 2 speed toilet.)

Sounds lovely. Does the toilet look like Sara and TJ's?
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome museum. I was only in Belgium for a weekend. We didn't do as thorough a tourism job.
