Historical Circle d'Euzie

D'Euzie organizes a theme exhibition regarding Stekene and the districts of Kemzeke and Klein-Sinaai every six months in the premises of the Museum Oud-Station.

exhibition: Truth and fiction about the 'Redster van Stekene'
"The words of Amelberga were so moving, her beauty so heart-wrenching, that General Hoste took her by the hand and promised her the salvation of Stekene." (Siret in 1870, about the Boer War in Stekene). Amelberga Truyman has earned a prominent place in (local) historiography, alongside many other public 'honors'. But what is the real truth behind that 'rescue'?

exhibition: Fast, faster, fastest: pigeon sport in Stekene
Stekene prides itself on its rich history of pigeon sports, which continues to thrive to this day. Learn all about ‘the falling of the pigeons’ and what precedes it. Can these racing birds also be doped? And what about the prizes for these speedy pigeons? Clichés, truths, and nonsense: after this exhibition, you will be a true pigeon-o-logist.
runs until September 5, 2010

demonstration: Restoration of the altar painting ‘O.L.Vr. ten Opneming’ from 1828
Is a restored painting fake? Perhaps, because even if you restore it as accurately as possible, it will never truly be the original work again. It will only appear to be so. In the workshop, you will see our restoration team at work all day. You will receive an explanation of restoration techniques and then visit the exhibition on the ongoing restoration project.
