Dear André, if you have the time, you should also visit the excellent exhibiton on Sundials in Liege (one hour by train east of Brussels ) in the Musee de la Vie Wallone. This is a collection of some 500 sundials (la collection de Max Elskamp) worth a visit. You should ask at the reception, because they have to open the room especially for you.
Their homepage is: http://www.liege.be/visitelg/musées/noncommu/viewallo.htm Have a nice visit Jürgen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------- Dr.-Ing.
