The exhibition of the Ethnographical and Folklore Collections and those of the Far-East

The Depart¬ 
ment of 1 Ancient 
Belgium owes the 
greater part of its 
collections to the 
donation of Comte 
Louis Cav-ens and 
to the researches 
of the Excavations 
Service attached to 
the Museum. It 
enables us to follow 
the development of 
civilization in Bel¬ 
gium from the Stone 
Age, through the 
Bronze and Iron 
Ages, up to the 
Belgo-Roman and 
Frankish Periods.

The Department of Art Industries, which is the Jarerest of all, owes its riches especially 
to the bequests of Messrs Hagemans, Capron, De^fJiefve, Montefiore, Vermeersch, Evenepoel 
and Godtschalck ; it contains specimens of the very first class. 
We cannot do 
more than mention 
the celebrated 
tapestries 
(especially Brussels 
tapestries), 
the delicate pieces 
of Mosan gold-and 
M 
silversmiths’ work, 
the retables, 
the various pieces 
of furniture, to be 
found in rooms 
which follow one 
another in 
chronological order.
