More information on Erasmushuis/Maison d'Erasme
The great Dutch scholar and humanist Desiderius Erasmus ("Praise of Folly") lived in Brussels for about five months in 1521. Almost by miracle, his house was not torn down and is now a museum. Erasmus was born in Rotterdam in 1469. When he was 13 years old, his parents died and he was sent to a very tough school. Erasmus loathed this school and later he would write that the extreme discipline on students put them off learning and made them hate education, and even worse: the terror made their very souls vicious. Erasmus' house is now a museum that also houses a great collection of paintings by artists such as Jerom Bosch and Quinten Matsys.
