A double bass by Benoît Joseph Boussu (1703-1773) has just become part of the heritage of the Museum of Musical Instruments thanks to the Léon Courtin-Marcelle Bouché Fund. It is the only double bass that can be attributed to him at this time.
Used as door jambs since the 19th century, the emblemata have recently reappeared. The Léon Courtin-Marcelle Bouché Fund provided support for their restoration.
After a two-year restoration campaign, the Saint Denis altarpiece has regained all its splendour and been returned to Liege. Two funds came together to finance the project: the InBev-Baillet Latour Fund and the David Constant Fund.
