Interactive visit: Collection presentation – primary education

The emphasis of an interactive visit is not so much on the content of the story, but more on the experience: learning how to translate what you see into words, paying attention to materials and colours, …

MoMu houses the largest collection of Belgian contemporary fashion in the world. MoMu’s new Collection presentation looks back at four decades of Belgian fashion, complemented by a selection from the museum’s historical collection. The exhibition gives an overview of the most important protagonists of Belgian fashion, based on the themes that characterise the distinctive nature of the MoMu collection: surrealism, craftsmanship, deconstructivism and a predilection for art, history and innovation.

Both the Collection presentation and the introductory documentary begin with the historical question ‘what does the label Belgian and Antwerp fashion mean today?’. The exhibition will rotate every year to show as much of the MoMu collection as possible and to make room for new stories. This way, the Collection presentation becomes an annual standing appointment that continues to surprise.
