In the 15th century, the Bishop of Tournai eagerly receives his tithe of beer, a precious commodity that symbolizes prosperity and celebration. The engraving captures the essence of this historical moment, highlighting the significance in medieval society. Moving forward in time, a captivating tapestry from Tournai depicts vintagers diligently harvesting grapes for wine production. However, it is not only wine that flows through these ancient towns; they can equally cherished as they bring joy to locals and visitors alike. As we journey to Leerdam, a town gate painting transports us to the 19th century. Amidst bustling streets and vibrant markets, one cannot help but notice the presence being transported with care. These vessels serve as a reminder of an era when craftsmanship and trade thrived hand in hand. Stepping into a cozy inn during the 17th century reveals peasants enjoying their leisurely moments while puffing on pipes filled with fragrant tobacco. Among them stand sturdy wooden tables adorned with frothy mugs resting upon beer barrels - symbols of conviviality and relaxation. Returning to Tournai's rich tapestry tradition, another masterpiece showcases wine pressers hard at work extracting every drop from luscious grapes.

Venturing further back in time brings us face-to-face with an extraordinary sight: a sperm whale stranded on Noordwijk beach in 1614.
