11 Craft materials for the production of rosaries
These boxes of craft materials belonged to the Capuchin Sisters of Antwerp. The tin box contains a variety of smaller boxes – note the Agfa-Gevaert film roll packaging and the Curix click-clack tin of 'Licorice and menthol pellets'. These have been repurposed as containers for all kinds of beads, threads, medallions and crosses. The sisters used these to make rosaries. Some boxes contain broken rosaries; these may have been intended for restoration.
PARCUM
In our museum you will find thematic exhibitions at the confluence of religion, art and culture. Exhibitions that bring you face to face with the often unseen heritage of our churches, abbeys and monasteries. In today's multi-religious and highly diverse society, particular attention is paid here to promoting dialogue. Our exhibitions do not provide answers; they encourage thinking and dialogue. PARCUM is much more than a museum. It is also a visit to one of the best preserved abbey complexes in the Benelux.
