We were rambling around Belgium last month and stumbled upon a museum devoted to Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) in Oudenaarde, about 30km south of Gent on Route N60. (http://www.crvv.be/en/museum).
It's a little hard to find (it's on the right just before you reach the city square from the highway) but it's full of stuff about the hard men of Belgium. There is even a simulation that allows you to ride the Mur de Koppenberg against Peter van Petegem. There's also a good gift shop that sells retro jerseys. I scored a Kannibaal jersey dedicated to you know who.
All in all, I wouldn't plan a trip around this museum but if you're touring Belgium (which I heartily recommend. Bruge and Gent are beautiful) it's definitely worth a stopover.
