Myriam-
I actually did see the university library (quite an impressive building) and took a picture of it. It was quite cold that day, so I wasn't too keen on walking around too much.
If I ever find myself in Leuven in the future, I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

yk - I love reading your report and thank you for a lot of useful information.
From your report, it sounds like Horta, Groeninge and Memling museums in Bruges are a must.
Have you been to Museum der Schone Kunsten and Rubenshuis in Antwerp and Design Museum in Ghent? I just wonder which museums worth a visit during my 4-trip in Belgium.
