Erasmus House, Protected heritage museum in Anderlecht, Belgium.
The Erasmushuis presents late Gothic architectural elements with a collection of 16th-century books documenting European civilization's development through Renaissance period.
Between 1460 and 1515, this building became the residence of Erasmus of Rotterdam, who spent five months translating religious texts from Greek to Latin.
The museum exhibits works by Hans Holbein the Younger and Hieronymus Bosch, along with numerous documents illustrating Renaissance intellectual exchanges across Europe.
Located near Saint-Guidon metro station on line 5, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours of the house and gardens.
The property includes two specialized gardens: a medicinal garden established in 1987 and a philosophical garden from 2000, containing plants mentioned in Erasmus's writings.
