| Did you know that the plastic rain cap, the "mille croquettes" and the "passe-vite" are Belgian inventions? ''Boetique Belgique'' offers a unique look at the material memory of Belgium in a procession of objects. Fun, recognizable and surprising: art and kitsch, fashion and design, technical inventions in addition to everyday objects, all under the common denominator 'this is Belgian'. From an art nouveau door handle to a bakelite praline box, from an SBR transistor to a [[Cubex]] kitchen, from a waffle iron to a [[Gevaert]] camera, from a [[Henry van de Velde]] dinner service to a cobblestone, from a Nova iron to a harmonica by Toots ... You can find the real collection in the [[BELvue museum in Brussels]] on the [[Mont des Arts]], just next to the [[Royal Palace]]. | Did you know that the plastic rain cap, the "mille croquettes" and the "passe-vite" are Belgian inventions?
