At one of Belgium’s most inspired museums, the interactive, witty and surrealistically metaphorical presentations include a post-natal hospital ward for sugar beets, a cartoon encounter with Queen Bee and a ‘painting’ gallery with a talking Napoleon. Suddenly sugar lumps seem fascinating. Finish the visit in the attached cafe, where local apple cake marries well with Tienen’s sour, unfiltered ‘duck’ beer, Tiense Kweiker Tripel.
