Het is gans normaal dat de stad Lier een borstbeeld van zijn meest gekende burger zou tentoonstellen op een toeristische topplaats in het centrum en niet ver van het museum met een overzicht van zijn historiek en werken. Felix Timmermans was een schrijver van gedichten, novellen , toneel en romans. Zijn meest bekend boek was ,, Pallieter,, . Hij schreef het in 1916 en de Lierenaars hebben er hun bijnaam van Pallieters aan te danken.
It is quite normal that the city of Lier would exhibit a bust of its most famous citizen in a top tourist spot in the center and not far from the museum with an overview of his history and works. Felix Timmermans was a writer of poems, novellas, drama and novels. His most famous book was ,, Pallieter,, . He wrote it in 1916 and the people of Lieren owe their nickname of Pallieters to it.

Timmermans was born in the Belgian city of Lier, as the thirteenth of fourteen children. He died in Lier at age 60. He was an autodidact, and wrote plays, historical novels, religious works, and poems. His best-known book is Pallieter (1916). Timmermans also wrote under the pen-name Polleke van Mher. He was a painter and drawer as well as an author. During the first years of the Second World War, Timmermans was editor of the Flemish nationalist Volk. He also attended meetings of the Europäische Schriftsteller-Vereinigung(European Writers' League), which was initiated by Joseph Goebbels. Because of this, and because of the Rembrandt prize he received in 1942 from the University of Hamburg, he was wrongly seen as a collaborator, which may have caused health problems and premature death.
