==History==
With the decline in lambic popularity in the [[A_Brief_History_of_Lambic_in_Belgium#Postwar_Lambic|post World War II era]] and the rise of [[Sweetened_Lambic|sweetened lambics]], many smaller breweries were under financial pressure and were either bought out by larger breweries or simply closed. In order to help the brewery side, Brasserie Cantillon, under Jean-Pierre Van Roy established a living museum in 1978. Van Roy credits the museum as a main reason that Cantillon was able to stay open and independent throughout the years before a resurgence in popularity. Today, as in the past, the museum is fully integrated into the brewery and serves as a way to inform visitors of both the history of Cantillon as well as the production process.
