Benoits history is staged by five female personalities that have played a crucial role in his life. As a result his life is being told from different angles. The characters are: Rosalie Monie, his mother from whom he learned to love music; Julie Zoë Pfotzer, whom he met during his stay in Paris; Flore Wantzel, the woman he married when he returned to Brussels; Constance Teichmann, who inspired him in Antwerp for his religious work; Agnes Mertens, his love until he died.In the museum a film can be seen and music can be heart, as well from him as from his colleague composers. One of his most renown music pieces is Phantasy 3. It was played for years as the closing melody of the broadcaster BRT. Near to the museum, the little birth house of Benoit can be visited. It gives an impression of the poor circumstances in which he was born. The museum hosts also a library with a variation of works on Benoit and a collection of 4,000 folk songs.

On January 1, 2006, Kuurne had a total population of 12,591. The total area is 10.01 km² which gives a population density of 1258 inhabitants per km². The Leie functions as a natural border between Kuurne and Harelbeke. Inhabitants from Kuurne are nicknamed 'donkeys'. This is said to be a term of derision given to them by the people of nearby Kortrijk because traders from Kuurne habitually set off for the Kortrijk market at an early hour, their ass-drawn carts laden with vegetables. Awoken by the rattle of the cart wheels and the braying of the asses, the people of Kortrijk exclaimed: "It's those asses from Kuurne again!" An alternative, more legendary explanation originates from the tale of a priest who had to hold a funeral on Ash Wednesday. He asked the sacrister to take over his regular service, but the latter couldn't remember the Latin words "Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris" (Remember, man, that dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return), which are to be proclaimed while applying a cross of ash to the foreheads of the churchgoers. Later the priest spoke to him in exasperation, saying: "You were born an ass, and you will die an ass!" "Aha," said the sacrister, "I'll remember that!" and so saying, he continued giving the people of Kuurne their crosses of ash. The best-known donkey in Kuurne is 'Ambroos' (Ambrose), a larger-than-life and somewhat stylised statue in front of the town hall. The winner of the annual pro road cycling race Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne received a big bouquet and a soft toy version of 'Ambroos' to wave from the stage.
