I reasonably sure they're from Belgium (Belgie) and that they are commemorating something but I don't know what. I'm looking for any information on them. I really like the "Giveaway Games" they have here so I'll probably end up using that platform to get them to a better home, but I'd at least like to know their history.

I just tried to upload one of the photos and they're WAYYYYY too big. I'll reduce them and add to this thread

OK, now for the photos
First one is simply a block of four stamps but curious about what it says
Next three seem to commemorate and Art or Museum Exhibition.
Finally, the last two appear to be a program of some sort. It is a single fold sheet that forms a booklet. A little worse for wear at the corners but I received it that way.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Perhaps I didn't ask my earlier question correctly?
After three days of searching online, I have found only that the Museum van de Dynastie is dedicated to the achievements of the Belgium Royal Family.
The cards seem to be commemorating a musical event of some sort. Perhaps they are posted invitations to a performance requested by the Royal Family.
The last item appears to be a program for one of them.
Since I am illiterate in the languages of the world (heck, I have trouble with American style English). I was hoping someone could translate the subject information for me.

The first sheet reads 'Great Bell of Peace'. On top in Dutch, at the bottom in French. A sheet issued to commemorate the installation of a new bell in the church of Koekelberg - a small town with a huge church - in Belgium. The old one was stolen by the Germans in WWII.
The next three items are a sort of variation on first day covers. I think they are entry tickets to the museum, doubling as FDC's.
The fourth item is a program for a stamp exhibition in Antwerp. The fronts says so much. Inside is more info about the exhibition. The back is sort of an advertisement for a festivity organised by a labor unions in Belgium.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much Gerben.
That really helps a lot. I guess my next step is to find a good home for them. I'm not currently equipped to collect international postage, so they will go into the back of my "Extras Book" with notes about your description.
Again, Thanks

Interesting about the bell. The church where it resides is the fifth largest church in the world. Here is a short (no sound) video from You-Tube of the inauguration of the new bell. If you get just a black screen, click on the screen to start the video.

It will definitely wake you up in the morning!

The church has some interesting World War II history:

Funny how someone finds out you collect stamps and just says "Here. You'll like these?"
