About
Peter Benoit Huis (literally Peter Benoit House) is a museum in Harelbeke in West Flanders, Belgium.
The museum is dedicated to the work of the Flemish composer and musical educational theorist Peter Benoit (1834-1901). It was founded by Paul Vandebuerie, a composer from Harelbeke and collector in large part of the collection of the museum.
In 2001 the concept of the museum was newly designed to an experience museum. Benoits history is staged by five female personalities that have played a crucial role in his life. As a result, his life is being told from different angles. The characters are:
Rosalie Monie, his mother from whom he learned to love music;
Julie Zoë Pfotzer, whom he met during his stay in Paris;
