- Summary:
- Opened in Ghent in September 1986, the Dr. Guislain Museum tells the history of psychiatry through its permanent and temporary exhibitions. It occupies a large portion of a historic building constructed in 1857, through the collaboration of the Brothers of Charity and mental health professional Joseph Guislain (1797-1860), as the first psychiatric institution in Belgium. Catalogues of the permanent collection were previously created in 1989 and 2001. The newest catalogue reflects the extensive expansion of the collection over the past decade. Illustrated throughout with full-color and b&w photographs, the text features 22 concise and accessible essays documenting and commenting on the collection and how mental illness has been dealt with over the centuries.
