S1.E10 ∙ De museumoorlog

Thu, Nov 04, 2004

Veerle has symptoms of morning sickness, but pregnancy-tests negative. The Rupel region has three museums devoted to the local traditional industry, brick-making. Arson in one, Emabb, is fatal for Erik Broos, the most devoted of its voluntary board members. He was the great opponent of a fusion with the rival museums, his board colleague Frank Verbeeck, a chemistry teacher, was pro, because their collections are widely complementary: the best site, the best archive viz. the best objects collection. Each has a candidate for director in case of a merger. But maybe Erik wasn't the intended victim, after all he only stood guard (as he alone suspected sabotage) after Frank's partner Sylvie Vranckx doctored the drawing of straws...
