The tour will take place on the ground floor and the first floor. Wheelchair users can only visit the ground floor. The Museum Plantin-Moretus is an historic house that grew organically over several centuries. That’s why there are several steps leading from one room to another on the first floor, which are impossible to navigate with a wheelchair. The guide will adapt the tour accordingly.

  • You will take an interactive tour through the Museum Plantin-Moretus
  • You will discover the fascinating life of Christopher Plantin and his successors
  • Thanks to the assignments, this visit will be a fascinating museum experience
