Important Notice 
to Travellers in Belgium 
Royal Museum of the 
■■ Cinquantenaire MM 
Looking out of my window in the Egyptian Library of 
the Museum the other day, I saw several motor-cars crossing 
the Park of the Cinquantenaire laden with tourists who were 
conscientiously practising the sport of sight-seeing. 
Doubtless, when they leave Brussels, they will be cer¬ 
tain that the tourist agency in which they put their trust has 
shown them everything worth seeing in our capital. In one 
of the cars, a man was making gestures and pointing to the 
buildings on either side of the arcade. I was curious to know 
what he was saying; in any case I am sure that the explan¬ 
ations he was giving his travellers were about as useful 
as if in London, going down Great Russell Street, he had 
remarked, pointing to the British Museum : " Those build¬ 
ings were used as offices for one of the army services during 
the war ".
