=== De Veste Museum of Local History ===
The museum exhibits objects that are mainly loaned from a society for local history. They are primarily old objects that were used in the past, such as weighing instruments, [[threshing]] and transport material, archival pieces regarding local societies, municipal governments and economic activities. In addition, there are artefacts that were used for farming purposes and folkloric instruments of [[craft]]smen and other professions. Furthermore, there are also artefacts relating to the monarchy, the church life, the world wars and [[historiography|historiographical]] accounts and flags of Zaventem. Outside large agricultural instruments are exhibited like [[plough]]s, and [[harvesting]] machines to grub up [[chicory]]. The building of the museum was erected in 1957 as a storage place in the architectural style of a 17th-century house to refer to the houses that used to be in the area during that century. In 1977, the building was fully restored and converted into the local history museum.<ref>[http://www.zaventem.be/gzaventem/faces/public/template.jsp?f=80#Museum_De_Veste Heemkundig Museum "De Veste"], Gemeente Zaventem – Cultuur en Toerisme, retrieved 2014-07-23.</ref>
